Every game a must win for the Fiji Bati

Fiji coach Mick Potter says every game is a must-win for his side at the Rugby League World Cup.

The Bati thrashed the United States 58-12 in their tournament opener last weekend and face a Welsh team on Sunday that conceded 50 points against Papua New Guinea in Port Moresby.

Despite scoring 11 tries, Potter said Fiji let in a couple that were preventable.

"We were just a little bit quick in our defence - we didn't make effective tackles and they probably could have had another try as well, just a guys stepped from outside the field of play to catch a ball," he said.

"So we got off lightly there with our last plays, we've got to make sure that we don't walk when the ball is in transit, as far as in a kick.

"Everyone's got a job when the ball is being kicked to help their catcher or to be in the vicinity to make a tackle if something does go wrong".
