The Vodafone Fiji Bati are ready for the unpredictable USA Hawks team in their first match of the Rugby League World Cup tomorrow.
The Bati are expecting the Fijian community in Townsville to come out in numbers and fill up the Townsville Stadium tomorrow night.
Experienced Bati prop Ashton Sims is happy with the support.
Sims adds that they are also excited to see Jarryd Hayne play again for Fiji after making his mark in the 2008 World Cup.
USA captain Mark Offerdahl says they are not in this competition to make up the numbers.
Bati’s experienced centre Akuila Uate says they are not quite sure what to expect from the Hawks but are ready.
USA Hawks centre Junior Vaivai, the cousin of Hollywood star and Wrestler Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has credited his cousin for encouraging him to pursue a rugby league career.
The Vodafone Fiji Bati will take on USA at 9.40pm tomorrow.
Meanwhile, the Australian Kangaroos will host England at 9 tonight in the opening game of the Rugby League World Cup.
