VIDEO: Rugby Union World Cup Highlights Round Up

Australia was forced to put up an almighty fight to beat Fiji in their tournament opener as the 2015 Rugby World Cup in England continued on Wednesday.

The Wallabies won the match 28-13 courtesy of a  stellar two-try performance from David Pocock.

In what was a far from a polished performance, the three-try win fell short of delivering a valuable bonus point in the 'Pool of Death' clash at Millennium Stadium in Cardiff.

In another game, Scotland beat Japan 45-10 in their opening game.
