\n <\/p>\n

The 2026 Rugby League World Cup<\/a> (RLWC) is less than 12 months away and every nation will be looking to dethrone Australia<\/a> to become the new world champions and hold the title of World Cup winners.<\/p>\n

After failing to reach the success of other nations in recent memory, Fiji<\/a> will look to make their mark in 2026 and boast arguably its best squad of all time.<\/p>\n

Their squad is set to be headlined by Wests Tigers<\/a> trio Apisai Koroisau<\/a>, Jahream Bula<\/a> and Sunia Turuva<\/a>, while Viliame Kikau<\/a> will lead the forward pack and is one of the top back-rowers of the NRL<\/a> competition.<\/p>\n

In what is a different squad from what was named for the 2022 RLWC, only nine of the 24 members are set to return for the 2026 Rugby League World Cup<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Predicted Fiji’s squad for 2026 RLWC<\/p>\n
