Vodafone Flying Fijians coach, John McKee has mapped out Fiji’s plans for the next Rugby World Cup in 2019.

McKee has cleared the air that he is committed to Fiji Rugby after speculation that he is the top contender to replace Eddie Jones as Japan’s coach.

McKee says after their last game against Uruguay this morning he told the players that they should now be preparing for the next World Cup.

Meanwhile Prime Minister and Fiji Rugby Union President, Voreqe Bainimarama who was in England says the team played well.

Fiji beat Uruguay 47-15 this morning.

The team will arrive at the Nadi Airport at 8.30am this Friday.

The overseas based players will be flying straight back to their homes from England while the local based players and coaches with the team management will arrive at the Nadi Airport.
