Melbourne (Reuters): Livewire fullback Israel Folau and winger Henry Speight each scored a brace of tries as Australia opened their season with a dominant 37-14 win over a gallant Fiji on Saturday.

Folau ended an 11-match scoring drought for the Wallabies dating back to last June’s internationals against England, while Speight proved the villain for the country of his birth, with his second and third test tries.

Dropped skipper Stephen Moore came on as a replacement to grab Australia’s other try, with wingers Vereniki Goneva and Timocui Nagusa crossing for the visitors late on a glorious afternoon at Melbourne Rectangular Stadium.
