    Australia 18-3 Fiji

    Time to get moving again then. Glen Jackson's whistle prompts Bernard Foley to kick long, which Fiji safely gather and clear long.

    Immediately, Australia full-back Israel Folau is on the charge...

    Fiji threatened occasionally in the opening half and looked like they could cause damage with the ball in hand, but it was Australia who dominated possession and territory. Fiji rarely visited the green and gold's 22.

    Right then, is there any way back this game for Fiji - or is it simply a case of how many for Australia?

    Bernard Foley has yet to miss a kick with the boot and the outside-half has been a reliable performer with the ball in hand in the first half, making the most metres of all.

    Did anyone really have any doubts about the Michael Hooper-David Pocock combination in Australia's back row?...

    "Australia have looked good and comfortable. They've got better as the game has gone on. Their scrum hasn't had the better of the Fiji side but their driving line-out has been excellent. Fiji have looked a little tired - perhaps the yellow card has affected them."

    It's hard to argue with Rob Jones's summation - Fiji have had their moments, but Australia are well on top thanks to a couple of David Pocock tries.

    It's been ruthless.

    "They've been very impressive so far, Australia. A lot of people will be looking at them as contenders for this World Cup."

    Bernard Foley's kick is good. Australia are firmly in charge.

    Goodness me, an almost farcical passage of play follows though, with neither team able to grasp the ball just inside the Fiji half.

    Eventually there's an infringement in the middle of it all, one of the Fijian props guilty, so Bernard Foley will aim for the posts.

    Australia attempt to run the ball from deep now, but it's knocked on and Fiji will insert at the scrum.

    It looked to be wilting too, but somehow they squeeze the ball out and get it to the imposing Nemani Nadolo - but he's halted and then fails to release.

    Bernard Foley's touch finder doesn't serve its purpose though, so Fiji are reprieved.

    Try - Pocock, missed con Foleypublished at 31 mins

    Australia 15-3 Fiji

    And it's an absolute carbon copy of the earlier try, as David Pocock, at number eight rather than blind-side flanker this afternoon, goes over behind that imperious Australian driving maul.

    Bernard Foley misses from the tee but this is beginning to look ominous for Fiji, who still have another eight minutes or so down to 14 men.

    Australia 10-3 Fiji

    The Australian charge is starting to gain momentum now - and Fiji's life is made more difficult when Campese Ma'afu kicks the ball away at the base of a ruck and gets sent to the sin-bin.

    To touch once again.

    There's not been a huge amount between the two teams so far, although Australia have had possession in more threatening areas - and the lead is now theirs.

    The Wallabies come forward once more...

    And this time the Wallabies simply cannot be halted. Stephen Moore's throw is straight, David Pocock's grab is clean, and behind the rolling maul he forces his way over.

    Australia, thanks to Bernard Foley's conversion from a tight angle, lead by seven points.

    Safe ball is secured and Australia switch the ball across from left to right, with full-back Israel Folau prowling.

    Nemani Nadolo gets to him, but it's a high tackle from the Fiji wing.

    Australia head to touch on the opposite side this time...

    Straight from the restart the game immediately opens right up. First Nikola Matawalu, so impressive in the opening stages, resists Michael Hooper's tackle to break through - before a turnover allows Bernard Foley a break down the right.

    They have bodies over too, do Australia, but the ball goes down.

    The whistle had gone already though, allowing the Wallabies to go to touch five metres out. A first try of the match on the horizon?

  20. Penalty - Nadolopublished at 22 mins

    Australia 3-3 Fiji

    The maul doesn't quite shift second time around, but it does do enough for Fiji to be awarded a penalty.

    And there's no messing about this time, as Nemani Nadolo splits the posts to draw level.

    Terrific little spell this for Fiji.
