Plenty at stake in game against Georgia as qualifying for next RWC hangs in the balance

Plenty at stake in game against Georgia as qualifying for next RWC hangs in the balance

Fiji Airways Flying Fijians coach John McKee says the players believe that they still have a lot to show the world what Fiji are capable of.

McKee says that is their motivation for the match - not only to match Georgia in the critical parts of the game and particularly around the set-piece and breakdown, but to create some opportunities for Fiji in attack to ease their attacking talents.

McKee adds there is plenty at stake in this game as a top-three finish in the pool means automatic qualification for the next Rugby World Cup.

Fiji and Georgia have played three times with Fiji winning two games and Georgia winning one.

Fiji takes on Gerogia at 5.15pm today.
