THE PREDICTION
Fiji bounced back expertly from their beating at the hands of tournament favourites Australia by thrashing Italy 60-4 and whilst their passage to the knockout stage is secure anyway unless Italy stun the Aussies in the final round of group games, victory here over Scotland would make sure regardless of that match. The Scots come into this on the back of having set an unwanted record, suffering their worst ever Rugby League World Cup defeat by losing 84-0 to Australia. Whilst Fiji are unlikely to manage a similar margin of victory, they still have to be favoured to dish out another thrashing here to Scotland.
