England will want to be a better team than they were when we played them in the summer and they will want to get their revenge this time on us.
This was highlighted by Fiji Water Flying Fijians' rugged flanker Levani Botia after the Flying Fijians qualified for the 2023 Rugby World Cup quarter finals despite losing to Portugal 24-23 yesterday.

Botia says England is a good team and they know how to get through the quarter finals and get to the semi finals but Fiji will be ready for the challenge.
He says this will be a big game for Fiji and they are looking forward to it.
He adds they learned so many things from yesterday’s loss to Portugal and they are looking to improve on a lot of things as they look forward to next week.
Botia says they will go back, review their game and pick out their weakness, recover and reset for the quarter finals.
The Flying Fijians managed to gain a bonus point despite the loss yesterday that helped them finish as pool C runners-up and qualify for the quarter finals after a lapse of 16 years.
Fiji will take on England in the third quarter final at 3am next Monday in Marseille.
