Fiji Water Flying Fijians Head Coach Simon Raiwalui says they have a big history with Wales in the Rugby World Cup, but they will be ready next Monday.

Fiji have met Wales in four World Cup tournaments, which includes their historic win in 2007.

Raiwalui says they have been pooled together a number of times, but the teams change, and mindsets change.

He says to give credit to the boys, they have really knuckled down and pushed themselves to be in a good position against Wales.

He adds they are looking forward to the occasion.

Fiji will kick off their World Cup campaign against Wales at 7am next Monday.

The RWC kicks off this Saturday with hosts France taking on New Zealand at 7.15am.
