It means a lot to the team that everywhere we go here in the Rugby World Cup in France the support is there.

Fiji Water Flying Fijians centre Semi Radradra highlighted this in an interview saying especially the French, who count Fiji as their second team.

Radradra says even though they are far from home seeing the support from fans is an honour.

The Flying Fijians coach was asked if there were any injuries on the team, Raiwalui says it was a tough game against Georgia so they had some bumps and bruises.

He says it was a physical game so they recovered well but there are still a few boys still sore.

Fiji play Portugal at 7am Monday.

For Fiji to make it to the Rugby World Cup quarter-finals they only need 1 point.

In the games coming up this week, New Zealand play Uruguay at 7am Friday while France face Italy at 7am Saturday.
