Fiji Water Flying Fijians are the dark horse of the Rugby World Cup and could top Pool C.

While speaking on a World Rugby YouTube show, former Blues and Hurricanes flyhalf Jimmy Gopperth says the team now has a set piece with star players and every team that plays against Fiji will be worried.

He says it is going to be great for the spectators but teams are going to be aware of them.

The Flying Fijians play Wales at 7am on Monday in their first RWC game.

The RWC kicks off this Saturday with hosts France taking on the All Blacks at 7.15 am in Paris.
