Australia will be sweating on the fitness of debutant Reuben Cotter after he went off with a concussion from a brutal head clash in their 42-8 win over Fiji.
Cotter collided with Fiji back-rower Tui Kamikamica in the 56th minute and fell to the ground, before being walked off the field by an Australian trainer.
Under World Cup rules players face a mandatory 11 day stand down period after a concussion, which can only be shortened to seven days if strict protocols are met.

Cotter looks almost certain to miss Australia’s next pool game against Scotland and is in doubt for their final pool match against Italy as well.
Meanwhile, Samoa was dealt a triple blow in its heavy defeat to England, losing Tyrone May (hip), Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow (syndesmosis) and Braden Hamlin-Uele (calf).
Samoa coach Matt Parish said all three will be unlikely to take any further part in the tournament.
Read on for a full list of World Cup injuries.
