If Fiji beat Italy on Friday, they will meet the runners-up from Pool B which Tonga and New Zealand will decide this weekend.
Fiji is currently leading Pool D with 4 points from two wins and will need either a draw or a win to qualify for the quarters while Tonga and the Kiwis have two wins each with 4 points and will face off this Saturday to determine who comes out on top.
The quarter-final will be held at Christchurch next weekend.
Meanwhile, Italy has named Raiders legend Terry Campese to return from a calf injury for what will be his farewell appearance at Canberra Stadium against the Bati.
Campese who qualified for the Azzurri through his Italian grandfather Antonio has not played at Canberra Stadium since his final Raiders game three years ago but he did not get a send-off from fans as his future with the club was not resolved.After helping Italy to qualify for the World Cup, the former Raiders captain has been targeting Friday night's match in Canberra and Campese captain-coached Queanbeyan Blues this season upon his return from a stint in Super League with Hull KR.The Vodafone Fiji Bati will take on Italy at 9.40pm Friday.
