Vodafone Flying Fijians coach John McKee said he will make some changes in the starting line when they take on Australia on Thursday.

McKee says they have shifted their focus to the Wallabies and the coaching staff has been doing a lot of work on getting them prepared for their second match in the Rugby World Cup.

He said they will approach the Wallabies game in a different way.

McKee said with a few days out from their next game, they will polish up on some basic errors.  

Fiji lost to England 35-11 on Saturday.

Vice captain Vereniki Goneva says they still need to work on team work.

They will play Australia on Thursday at 3.45am.

The average audience for the England vs Fiji opening match of the Rugby World Cup was 7.8 million, making it the most watched sporting event this year.

ITV’s ratings peaked at 9.4 million or more than four in 10 of those watching TV were tuned in to rugby.

The average audience for the match, between kick‑off and final whistle, was 8.7 million viewers.

However, the figures are still well below the 14.4m that tuned in to watch England play Italy in football’s World Cup last year.
