Boosted by wins over Australia and England this year, Fiji believe they can put rugby’s tier-one nations ‘to sleep’, says their forwards coach, Graham Dewes
Pacific islanders boosted by wins against Australia and EnglandFiji are preparing to “shock the world” against England in Sunday’s World Cup quarter-final with the Pacific islanders vowing to deliver the knockout blow and put Steve Borthwick’s side “to sleep”.
“We’ll go in with humility, respect our opponents and understand they’ll come harder as we beat them last time around,” said Dewes, who scored the winning try against Wales to book Fiji’s place in the 2007 quarter-finals – the last time the Pacific islanders reached this stage of the tournament. “I think Fiji on its day is capable of shocking the world. We’ve done it in the past, and if we stick to our gameplan, then we’ll do it again.
