Fiji Water Flying Fijians kicking coach Seremaia Bai says rugby means a lot to us in Fiji as it gives us life and it keeps everybody happy.

As Fiji prepares to face England in the RWC quarter final on Monday, Bai says rugby keeps the country in unity and whatever the result, he is hopeful that they will make the country proud.

He says they are going to make sure that they play for the people of Fiji.

When asked about the level of excitement back home in Fiji if they make the semi finals, Bai says they are passionate.

The former Flying Fijian even joked that there might be a week long holiday.

The Flying Fijians will take on England at 3am Monday in Marseille.

In other RWC quarter finals, Wales will play Argentina at 3am tomorrow, Ireland will take on the All Blacks at 7am tomorrow and France will play the Springboks at 7am Monday.
