Newsdeck: Not perfect but job done, now for Wales says Australia coach Cheika By Reutersreuters

SAPPORO, Japan, Sept 21 – A come-from-behind 39-21 victory over a fast-starting Fiji was far from perfect but it gave Australia a bonus point and something to build on as they head into a potential pool-winning clash with Wales next week, said coach Michael Cheika.were 21-12 down early in the second half of their Pool D opener at the Sapporo Dome on Saturday and seemingly unable to switch gears against a fired-up Fijian side.

“We’re not looking for perfection,” Cheika told reporters. “It never happens in this game. We got tested. “Maybe the score wasn’t the same but the momentum was pretty similar,” he said. “We were prepared for a strong contest and knowing that we would try and get ahead in the last 20 minutes. We know how good the Fijians are.”
