Rooster Chicken Fijiana 15’s coach Senirusi Seruvakula is hoping that the match day squad he has named can pull an upset against France in their final pool match of the Women’s Rugby World Cup.

With the quarterfinals looming, the top two teams from each pool automatically progress through along with the two best-third-placed teams.

At this stage Italy, the USA or Wales have 5 points each and are looking more likely to sneak in ahead of the Fijiana who are sitting with 4 points.

Should the Fijiana upset France this weekend, then they automatically qualify to the quarters along with England from Pool C.

Fijiana Head Coach Senirusi Seruvakula has named one of the best available sides this weekend with Asinate Serevi named again as captain.

The Fijiana will take on France at 6.15pm Saturday.
