New Zealand vs Fiji Predictions


New Zealand are backed to progress to the semi-finals, but Fiji can make more of a game of this than the handicap suggests. I'm backing Fiji with a +30.5 start.

  • Fiji beat New Zealand 4-2 in their only previous meeting.
  • Fiji have made the finals at the last 3 World Cups.

Head to Head


Fiji stunned New Zealand when winning at this stage of the 2017 Rugby League World Cup with a low-scoring 4-2 victory.

New Zealand Form


New Zealand were made to work hard to defeat Lebanon 34-12 in their opening game of the tournament.

The Kiwis have been far more clinical in two subsequent victories over Jamaica and Ireland to top the group.

Michael Maguire's New Zealand beat Jamaica 68-6 before getting the better of Ireland 48-10 last weekend.

New Zealand Squad & Team News


Jared Waerea-Hargreaves is unavailable due to suspension after being banned via tribunal.

Squad: Nelson Asofa-Solomona, Jesse Bromwich, Kenny Bromwich, Dylan Brown, James Fisher-Harris, Kieran Foran, Peta Hiku, Jahrome Hughes, Sebastian Kris, Moses Leota, Isaac Liu, Joseph Manu, Jeremy Marshall-King, Ronaldo Mulitalo, Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad, Briton Nikora, Marata Niukore, Isaiah Papali'i, Jordan Rapana, Brandon Smith, Scott Sorensen, Joseph Tapine, Jared Waerea-Hargreaves, Dallin Watene-Zelezniak.

Fiji Form


Fiji lost their opening game - albeit expected - to defending champions Australia as they went down 42-8.

Bati overpowered Italy 60-4 to keep their qualification hopes on track before a slightly below par performance in a 30-14 victory over Scotland last weekend.

The result was enough to seal second spot in the group behind Australia.

Fiji Squad & Team News


Squad: Waqa Blake, Tui Kamikamica, Vuate Karawalevu, Viliame Kikau, Apisai Koroisau, Lamar Manuel Liolevave, Joe Lovodua, Isaac Lumelume, Netane Masima, Laitia Moceidreke, Sitiveni Moceidreke, Taane Milne, Marcelo Montoya, Kevin Naiqama, Ben Nakubuwai, Jason Qareqare, Mikaele Ravalawa, Taniela Sadrugu, Daniel Saifiti, Jacob Saifiti, Pio Seci, Korbin Sims, Tariq Sims, Maika Sivo, Penioni Tagituimua, Sunia Turuva, Joseph Vakacereivalu, Semi Valemei, King Vuniyayawa, Ratu Inoke Vasuturaga, Brandon Wakeham, Siua Wong.
