The Fiji Water Flying Fijians are confident of securing a place in the 2023 Rugby World Cup quarter finals and coach Simon Raiwalui says they have put their foot at the door and are still in the race.

After their 22-15 win over the Wallabies, Raiwalui says the players all have the same mindset and that is to treat every game as a final.

He says they did that when they played the Wallabies and the result showed.

Raiwalui says they have 1 week off to recover and get all the injuries and knocks in the team right for the next game against Georgia next weekend.

He has also confirmed that loosehead prop Jone Koroiduadua is under an injury cloud after pulling his hamstring during training last week and it is a big blow for the team.

Fiji will play Georgia in their third RWC pool clash on the 1st of October at 3.45am. Meanwhile, Italy will play Uruguay at 3.45am on Thursday in the first match of round 3 of the RWC pool matches.
