Fiji Water Flying Fijians flanker, Levani Botia says they are taking it up to the next level for their Rugby World Cup quarter-final against England.

Botia says they have got to do some fine-tuning, regroup and refocus again.

He says he thinks firstly England are a good team as they know how to get through to the semi-finals.

The second rower says this is his first time going into a quarter-final at a World Cup, and it’s going to be a big match.

With a short turnaround this week, the Flying Fijians will be looking forward to polishing up all concerned areas.

Fiji play England in the third quarter-final at 3am Monday.

In other RWC quarter finals, Wales will play Argentina at 3am Sunday, Ireland will take on the All Blacks at 7am on Sunday and hosts France will play South Africa at 7am next Monday.
