The FIJI Water Flying Fijians are well aware of England’s dominant kicking game and powerful set-piece, and have been working hard to ensure they are equally clinical in those areas.

Speaking from London this morning, Head Coach Mick Byrne says the team had analysed England’s performance against Australia over the weekend and saw exactly what they had anticipated.

Byrne says the players have been putting in the hard work to sharpen their own set-piece execution and refine their starter plays.

He added that the squad has been building this structure over the past few years and understands that at Twickenham, opportunities will be limited.

He emphasised that when those moments come, the players must be ready to seize them.

Fiji will take on England at 5.40am Sunday.
