“The guys love their jersey so much and they’ve got so much pride in their jersey and they don’t even want to let their jersey down and yes it’s not always about the win or the outcome but about the effort the guys put in.”

The side will face Japan in their first pool match at 6.06am tomorrow.

Meanwhile, Fiji will play Wales at 7:37am followed by Canada at 10:49am before the last pool match against France at 2:33pm.
