The Vodafone Flying Fijians are tagged as the underdogs of the Rugby World Cup, but say they have enough belief within the team to create upsets.

Fiji is pooled with former world champs, England and Australia, along with Wales and Uruguay.

Flying Fijians coach, John McKee, says the tournament is not about one match but the team needs to set its sights on all the four matches.

“It’s a big task and big challenge and the great thing about sports and the great thing about the players that we have got in our squad, is that challenges bring out the best of people. I believe the team we have and the preparations we have had, we will create some upsets in this competition.”

Meanwhile, the side will be welcomed to the World Cup on Thursday night (Fiji time) at the Hampton Court Palace.

The opening match of the tournament between Fiji-England will be played on September 19 at 7am.
