Fiji -15.5
Line

These teams met 12 months ago and Fiji annihilated the Cook Islands team 56-6. The match was in Suva but it was a complete smash job so it is surprising to see such a light line in this one.

Both teams have changed from that game 12 months ago but there is a pretty fair case that Fiji are in a better spot. The Bati have no Kikau, Sivo or Naiqama but have Bula and Wakeham. It is the Cook Islands team that is most concerning though. Davvy Moale is not available and neither is Marata Niukore. Alex Glenn and Zane Tetevano are not in the squad this year.

Fiji have won five of the last six against the Cook Islands with wins of four and 50 post-Covid. They are 2-1 in Port Moresby. The Aitu have lost their last six and lost three of their four Pacific Bowl games by 22-plus.

Fiji have too much talent.

Sunia Turuva has five tries in eight Tests fo Fiji and is a double digit tryscorer in his three full seasons in the NRL.

Value Bet

Kitione Kautoga
To Score A Try

Kitione Kautoga is an underrated player who will thrive playing big minutes against overmatched opposition. He runs a super line and enjoyed a very good first season as an NRL regular with two tries in 15 games. He has 16 tries in 40 games at NSW Cup level so knows his way to the tryline. He scored when Fiji met the Cook Islands last start.
