Australia

James Tedesco will play for Australia against Fiji and "make a headache" for Kevin Walters, Reece Walsh thinks. Walsh says Walters isn't "sold on anyone's position" and offered him hooker; he declined, saying Blayke Brailey "is good to get a game there".

Reece Walsh says "the body's a bit sore" after his first game back for Australia from a long layoff. Kevin Walters checked his ankle and promised him a chance once it was right. Walsh doesn't know his role against Fiji but will play wherever Walters needs him.

Mitchell Moses has scans on 16 October on a leg injury Australia coach Kevin Walters said is "not so much his calf, it's more the side of his leg." If Moses is ruled out of the tournament, shadow player Ethan Strange can come in, but Walters didn't commit either way.

Sam Walker will play Australia's next Test with Tom Dearden moved to five-eighth, a halves pairing never used together as 6 and 7. "We'll put Tom at 5/8," Kevin Walters said, though he isn't yet sure how they go injury-wise. James Tedesco will be fullback.

Reece Walsh played Australia's win over New Zealand after eight weeks out and was "cramping and vomiting and all sorts of things," Kevin Walters said, too spent to take the goal-kicking. Isaah Yeo called it "a massive effort to not play for 8 weeks."
