The wait for the first match of the 2015 Rugby World Cup campaign is finally over for Australia as the Wallabies prepare to face Fiji at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff on Wednesday.
Australia have been able to watch and learn as their potential title rivals all got their respective campaigns underway at this World Cup, and the Wallabies will know any slipup from them and an opening win could be snatched out of their hands pretty quickly.
"You could look at the extra time either way," assistant coach Stephen Larkham said. "For us, however, I think the wait has been a bonus -- getting over here, getting the jet-lag out of our system and feeling the conditions.
"We have been training in Bath and have been a little bit away from the spotlight. That's been really good. I also think that in the last couple of days we have made some really good improvements. We've used the time well.
"We've had a bit of a look at some other games too, but to be honest we've only really concentrated on Fiji."
If you look at the records, there only looks like being one winner in the Australia vs Fiji match on Wednesday. The Wallabies have beaten Fiji in 12 straight matches, with the last time the Fijians getting anything out of a match against Australia coming way back in 1961, when the game ended 3-3.
However, this Fiji team are certainly capable of causing an upset or two, as their opening World Cup Pool A match against England on Friday showed. The main aspect of the game that Fiji would have worked on and need to improve upon is their errors, which proved to be way too costly against England.
Make more such errors against Australia, and the Wallabies will eat you up. "Australia play a very dynamic high-speed game which will maybe suit us better," Fiji coach John McKee said.
"They have made progress, have great line speed and a rush defence. They are very physical too.
"It is a short turnaround but we have had good recovery sessions and we are ready to go. We were disappointed with some aspects of our game against England but we have had time to work on a few things."
