The Flying Fijians were hosted by Varsity Weight Room gym owner, Manasobu Kawamura in their morning gym sessions, where the players did a lot of muscle building and strength work.

McKee says they will also be polishing up a few of their mistakes that have been reoccurring in their previous games such as their ball retention, defence, and mostly their strategy in mauls.

He says they will be working very hard in their mauls, since the Australians forwards are filled with experienced players.

He adds to counter this they need the players to be physically and mentally prepared.

Fiji is pooled with Australia, Wales, Georgia, and Uruguay for the Rugby World Cup.

Fiji will take on Australia in their first pool game at 4.45pm next Saturday.
