      The Flying Fijians are determined to finish their Rugby World Cup pool stages on a high as they finalise preparations for their match against Wales at Oita Stadium, this Wednesday.
      
      Head Coach John McKee has made just one change to the run on team that dominated Georgia 45 – 10 in Osaka last week, with Viliame Mata coming in to number eight moving Peceli Yato to the bench.
      
      Off the back of their strong performance last against Georgia, McKee says the team are looking to build and step up again when they meet the current 6 Nations Champions.
      
      “We see this final pool game as both a challenge and an opportunity, it is important to finish the pool stage on a high note” he said.
      
      “We carry some confidence and momentum from the Georgia match and at the same time know we must step up in performance in this match as it will be of a higher intensity” He added “Wales present a big challenge to us as they are the current 6 Nations Champions and recently held the World Rugby No 1 ranking and we can see the strengths across their squad.”
      
      “They have a very good defensive system and work rate so we know we will need to work hard to create scoring opportunities for ourselves” he commented.

          Fiji still in with a shot as they have racked up the BPs. Suspect wales will target the set piece and that should be enough. Worth a watch this match.

            As mentioned on an earlier thread, if Wales focus on nullifying Fiji's strengths instead of doing what we do well then we'll lose this match.

            Starve the Fijians of possession with accurate, multi-phase play. The penalties will come.

            Kick the ball dead negating the Fijian counter-attack threat.

            If Wales play smart - dare I say it boring 6N - rugby we'll win this comfortably.

            If not, it'll be 'Oh no Nantes again'

            Wales by 13-18

                Hope so.

                But we've had our fair share of brain farts in the WC.

                A couple of key injuries and/or cards and this will be streetfight.

                                        Willing start to this one.

                                        Fiji with half a chance there but good up and in defence by Wales to foil the overlap Fiji had.
