Elia Canakaivata was one of Fiji’s best in their loss to Australia. He started at Openside Flanker and was great on attack, getting over the gainline and was a rock defensively.

He made a couple of crucial cover tackles stopping the Wallabies on attack.

Overall 10 carries for 44 metres, the most of any Fijian forward, 18 tackles from 20 attempts and won 1 turnover.

It was definitely his best performance at test level at a position more suitable to his skillset.
