Wallabies target Boks as Fiji demolished

WITH the preliminaries against Wales and Fiji out of the way, Australia’s World Cup preparations begin in earnest with next Saturday’s Tri-Nations opener against South Africa in Cape Town.

After successive wins over the Welsh, the Wallabies made it three-from-three in 2007 with a workmanlike 49-0 win over the Fijians here on Saturday, but are under no illusions of the enormity of the task ahead of them in the Tri-Nations clash.

Having experimented with his line-up in the first three Tests of the season, Wallabies coach John Connolly has declared his intention to pick a full-strength side for Saturday’s game.
