Admittedly, in hindsight, in the Rugby World Cup pool match between the FIJI Water Flying Fijians and the formidable and mobile Georgian pack, Fiji did not perform to much-desired high expectations.
Naturally, many were left somewhat disappointed. By the same token, we must take much relief the Flying Fijians, though shut out 0-9, for the first 50 minutes, we dug really deep in the remain 30 minutes to salvage a desperate 17-12. Thank you for your dogged fighting spirit.
It is imperative now. Fiji must re-set; re-focus and deliver nothing less than a sublime effort as we take on a mobile and gutsy Portugal side.
The Portuguese will confront us with all gun’s blazing.
They will want to spoil the Flying Fijians’ party.
This will be very real.
Fiji, please know, while we pray and place all our trust in you, you will deliver us all a RWC quarterfinal qualification, and no less. We are banking on you, respectfully.
