Australia have named a powerful team which includes seven debutants for their opening Rugby League World Cup clash against the Fiji Bati.

Big names like James Tedesco, Cameron Munster, Daly Cherry-Evans, Josh Addo-Carr, Latrell Mitchell, Valentine Holmes, Ben Hunt and Angus Crichton have all been included in the starting 13.

Coach Mal Meninga says this is an extremely strong team and suits what they are trying to achieve over the whole tournament.

Australia will play Fiji at 6.30am Sunday.
