The Vodafone Fiji Bati Coach Jo Rabele believes his side has the best chance to qualify for the semifinals in this year's Rugby League World Cup, that officially gets underway on Saturday in Australia.

Fiji Bati has played in two World Cups in 1995 and 2000 but failed to reach the semifinal stages.

Rabele said with France and Scotland in their Pool, they have a better chance of reaching the last four.

He says this year they have an added advantage of more experienced players with some big names like Wes Naiqama, Jared Hyne and Ashton Simms who can guide them through in this year's tournament.

Fiji Bati plays their opening match against France on November 1st.
