When the Vodafone Flying Fijians starting XV step out onto the turf at Twickenham Stadium on Saturday, they will do so with the knowledge that almost a million Fijians are backing them to go all the way.
In Fiji, majority of the population are expected to gather to watch the match.
Every pass and tackle will be followed closely by friends and family, as well as by the Fijian community in England.
In the run up to 2015 Rugby World Cup, it is this groundswell of support that is helping boost the confidence of the Flying Fijians.
Coach John McKee said the support from the Fiji fans who came to The Stoop on 6 September to cheer on the team against Canada was phenomenal.
McKee said he believed this support, as well as social media messages from Fiji, would give the team the boost to challenge England.
Vodafone Flying Fijians captain Akapusi Qera said they want to cause an opening day shock at the World Cup when he leads his charges against England at Twickenham on Saturday.
The former Gloucester back‑row, who was a team‑mate of Jonny May and Ben Morgan, said the players are excited to run out of the sold out Twickenham Stadium.
Qera said these last few days leading up to Saturday will be vital for them.
He also said there are no injury concerns in the team.
Qera also wished all the fathers in Fiji a Happy Fathers Day.
Fiji will play England this Saturday at 7am in the opening match of the 2015 RWC.
Meanwhile, the Rugby World Cup organisers have revealed that they had broken the record for ticket sales at a tournament.
England Rugby 2015 confirmed they have surpassed the 2.25 million tickets bought for the 2007 RWC in France, four days before the event kicks off.
Now 94 per cent of the tournament's 2.45 million tickets have been shifted.
Organisers have always set themselves the target of selling out the World Cup but, as of Sunday, tickets remained on sale for 32 of the tournament's 48 matches, mainly in the higher price categories.
The only England game with tickets left was their final Pool A clash with Uruguay at Manchester's Etihad Stadium, each costing ,250 pounds.
There are none available for the hosts' potential quarter final, semi final or final.
The Millennium Stadium, which is staging eight fixtures, is the only venue with two games where tickets are still on sale in all price categories.
This includes Wales's tournament opener against Uruguay on Sunday, for which prices range from $108 to $378 Fijian dollars.
The Australia vs Fiji match tickets are priced between $122 to $367 Fijian dollars.
Unused media seats are also being put on sale to the public.
Still on Rugby World Cup
Rugby referee Nigel Owens says he would “love” to officiate a football fixture and deal with the "unacceptable behaviour" of coaches "like Jose Mourinho".
Owens will officiate during the Rugby World Cup, which starts Saturday.
In 2013 14, Chelsea boss Mourinho was twice sent to the stands by referees for complaining about decisions.
Owens said if they had coaches in rugby having a go at referees like Jose Mourinho and some others do, they'd be dealt with more firmly.
