Wallabies fight back to win opening World Cup match bbc.com
Australia survive a potential shock to come from behind and beat Fiji in their opening match at the 2019 World Cup in Sapporo.
The 2015 finalists were trailing until halfway into the second half before hooker Silatolu Latu went over for two tries inside five minutes.
Peceli Yato's try gave Fiji an early 8-0 lead, and a shock looked possible when Waisea Nayacalevu scored under the posts early in the second half.
But Australia roared back to end fears of a first loss to Fiji since 1954.
