The Vodafone Flying Fijians are eying a top 10 placing on the World Rugby rankings before the start of the World Cup in September.

Fiji is currently ranked 11th in the world and faces Samoa in the Pacific Nations Cup on Saturday.

National coach John McKee says there was a lot at stake during the PNC.

“Not just to try and win the PNC but also for the world ranking points. Teams like Samoa and Japan are near us on the world rankings and if we can get wins in the games it will help us get into the top10.”

Fiji takes on Samoa at 12pm on Saturday Sacramento, USA.
