Vodafone Fiji Bati coach Joe Rabele said his side will have to be more disciplined if they are to beat Ireland in the Rugby League World Cup semifinal qualifier on Monday.

Rabele's comments come after prop Iowane Divavesi was banned for two matches and won't be playing against Ireland.

Divavesi was charged by the Match Review Committee for tripping against Scotland in Wednesday's game.

Fiji Bati officials have appealed against the decision and are now waiting to know whether he will be allowed to play against Ireland.

Fiji Bati's Jason Bukuya was also cautioned for trading punches while captain Wes Naiqama also found himself in hot water for a striking incident.

Rabele said players must improve on discipline or they might have to catch an early flight back home.

Vodafone Fiji Bati will play Ireland on Monday at 8:55pm, with the winner advancing to the semifinal.
