The Fiji Water Flying Fijians are stepping up their preparation as they look forward to this weekend’s last Rugby World Cup warm-up match against England.

After last weekend’s 31-17 loss to France, the team is looking to iron out the mistakes that proved too costly for them last week as they try to head into the World Cup on a positive note.

Being arguably the most impressive that they have ever been so far as mentioned by rugby critics, they will take heart from a solid performance against a vulnerable top-tier side, and give England a good run for their money on their home soil.

England on the other hand will try and test out their final combinations in this match before the RWC with the absence of some of their key players in the likes of captain Owen Farrell and Billy Vunipola.

This is also England’s last chance to show they can make a decent fist of the World Cup before it begins next month.

The Flying Fijians will take on England at 2.15am this Sunday at Twickenham Stadium.
