Rooster Chicken Fijiana 15’s flanker Akosita Ravato is looking forward to making her Women’s Rugby World Cup debut against the number one ranked England side this Saturday.

Ravato who was part of the historic Fijiana Drua team that won the Super W earlier this year says the excitement is real in the Fijiana camp and they cannot wait to play England.

England is the red-hot favourite to win the Women's Rugby World Cup but many are asking the question if they are prepared for what the Fijiana are bringing.

The Fijiana will take on England at 3.45pm Saturday in the opening match of the tournament.
