Watch New Zealand take on Fiji as two Southern Hemisphere sides look to confirm their place in the Rugby World Cup semi-finals.
Both teams will consider themselves unlucky to find themselves in a pool with world champions and favorites Australia. The Kiwis ran the Kangaroos extremely close in the tournament opener, but still ended up losing. Fiji also gave Australia a tough game and with both sides beating the Cook Islands, their records are almost identical.
This will surely be one of the must-watch games of the pool stages, the very definition of a winner takes all. In short, a win for either side will send them into the knockouts, while New Zealand know a draw on the Gold Coast would be enough.
