Flying Fijians rep, Leone Nakarawa, says despite being pooled in the pool of death at the 2015 Rugby World Cup, the national side can create miracles.

Fiji is pooled with Australia, England, Wales and a play-off winner in Pool A for the tournament.

Nakarawa, who is looking forward to playing in his second ever World Cup, says nothing is impossible for the Flying Fijians.

He adds the team needs to start focusing on the tournament and work on bettering its play to match the best in the world.

“It’s a huge challenge for us. I think it will make the trainers, management and coaches work hard for the type of plays and the type of training we should do before we go to the World Cup and it will be a big challenge for us players too. Because we are in the pool of death and there are three teams good teams and they are big teams and Tier One nations but like I said they are also human beings.”

Fiji plays England in its first pool match at the 2015 World Cup on September 19.
