England rugby coach, Stuart Lancaster says he has been looking closely at the Vodafone Fiji 15's team over the last few weeks.

He says the 30‑all draw against Samoa in the Pacific Nations Cup was an impressive performance and they have now gone on to beat them.

Lancaster says Fiji gave an impressive performance against Samoa and he is certain that there are not just two teams in their pool who are a threat.

He says if people watch those games from the Pacific Nations Cup, they will know it's an extremely tough pool.

Meanwhile, Fiji’s captain, Akapusi Qera has backed his side to come through the pool of death of the Rugby World Cup after they lifted the Pacific Nations Cup yesterday.

The team will arrive into the country at 5am tomorrow, take a  break for a week before they prepare for the Rugby World Cup.

Fiji will play England in Twickenham in the opening match of the Rugby World Cup at 7am Saturday 19th September.
