    Australia 0-8 Fiji

    Australia are struggling big time here. Keilee Joseph comes on and now Kezie Apps is joining here.

    The Jillaroos are in unchartered territory. Two interchanges made before scoring a point.

    It was a beautiful dummy. And then just that difference one v one on the line, she was always going to win that battle.

    Luisa Yaranamua

    Wow. Luisa Yaranamua throws a dummy and then bundles over the Australia line. This is sensational from Fiji.

    Yaranamua adds the extras as well.

    Australia 0-2 Fiji

    Tiana Penitani Gray gets absolutely smashed by Lorren Leli and Australia are really all over the place here. Fiji get the ball back and now there's another error as Jaime Chapman loses the ball in a one-on-one tackle.

    Australia 0-0 Fiji

    Penalty Fiji as Simaima Taufa gets done for a ball strip. Fiji will go for two. If this goes over Australia will be behind for the first time in this tournament.

    It is the first time since the 2013 World Cup final that the Jillaroos have not score the first points in any international.

    What Fiji have been doing well is their outside in defence has been fantastic, they're spying opportunities, getting up hard and fast and spooking the catcher. It kicked off a little bit, bit of push and shove.

    Jocelyn Kelleher drops the ball and it's snaffled up by Fiji before there's a bit of pushing and shoving from both sets of players.

    Australia 0-0 Fiji

    Another Australia mistake this time from Tarryn Aiken. The Jillaroos are struggling to complete sets. Nobody has really laid a glove on Australia so far in this World Cup so far and they are not enjoying this.

    Australia have been rattled by Fiji. It's got to do with the line speed. The physicality in defence is really strong. It's going to be a big battle this game.

    Australia 0-0 Fiji

    This is a great start from Fiji. Jessica Sergis comes up with a mistake from a high bomb and the debutants are putting pressure on the Australia line.

    Could they score the opening try? No. Sereana Naitokatoka alnost goes over but is just held up.

    Australia 0-0 Fiji

    Fiji really need to front up defensively here. But Sereana Naitokatoka stripping the ball probably was not in the plan.

    Australia get another set of six but Millie Elliott comes up with an error and Fiji will get the chance to attack.

    Australia v Fiji (06:45 GMT)

    A reminder before we get under way that matches at the Women's Rugby League World Cup are played under the rules used in Australia's NRL Women's Premiership. That means matches are 70 minutes long, rather than the 80 we get in the Women's Super League.

    If the teams are level after 70 minutes, we will have golden-point extra time - first team to score (whether a try, a penalty or a drop goal) wins.

    I think it will be a really tough battle here for Fiji. Australia will be looking to really flex their muscles for the final and get the job done.

    Here come the teams. There are some big broad smiles on the faces of both sets of players.

    They all look ready to go as we get ready for the national anthems.

    Australia v Fiji (06:45 GMT)

    It looks like there is a bit of a breeze at the Allianz Stadium, Sydney, as the players go through their final warm-up routine indoors.

    Still, surely it can't get to what we saw in Newcastle on Saturday. I reckon even Mary Poppins might have struggled to get around in those winds.
