Fiji Airways Flying Fijians Assistant Coach, Tabai Matson is convinced that Fiji will be more formidable than the side who suffered losses to Australia, England and Wales during the 2015 Rugby World Cup.
Matson says the Flying Fijians are expecting the Wallabies to field openside flankers Michael Hooper and David Pocock in their starting pack for Saturday's clash in Sapporo so that is one reason they have been focusing on the breakdowns for the past two months.
Head coach, John McKee attended the Head Coaches briefing today in Tokyo City where they were briefed on the processes of the Rugby World Cup Tournament from the Head Referee, Alain Rolland on all key factors that they need to be aware of.
McKee says that it was an important day for them yesterday as players took part in intense physical sessions in their preparation for their game this Saturday against the Wallabies.
Meanwhile,
The Rugby World Cup commences this Friday with Japan taking on Russia at 10.45pm.
Fiji will face Australia at 4.45pm this Saturday, Argentina will take on France at 7.15pm while the All Blacks will play South Africa at 9.45pm this Saturday.
