The Fiji Water Flying Fijians have suffered a blow as key player, Temo Mayanavanua, has been ruled out of the Rugby World Cup quarter-finals.

Mayanavanua, a utility forward, will not be able to participate in the highly anticipated match against England.

This is due to a knee injury he sustained during their final pool match against Portugal yesterday.

Mayanavanua has played a crucial role for the team for the past 14 weeks.
