The Flying Fijians say the glaring lights of the Sapporo Dome wouldn't affect them in their opening match this afternoon.

This afternoon’s clash will be the first rugby match to be held at the Sapporo Dome, which is usually used for baseball and soccer matches and is a rare fully enclosed stadium.

The stadium is fully indoors and the brightness of the beaming lights running down the sideline and in the corners of the pitch were hard to miss at yesterday's captain's runs sessions.

Flying Fijians Coach John McKee says the beaming lights will not hinder the team.

Fiji will face the Wallabies at 4.45pm this afternoon.

France and Argentina face off at 7.15 tonight while the All Blacks and Springboks clash at 9.45pm.

Italy will play Namibia at 5.15pm tomorrow, Ireland and Scotland face off at 7.45pm tomorrow while England clash with Tonga at 10.15pm tomorrow.
