Legendary All Blacks number 8 Wayne 'Buck' Shelford has a lot of high hopes that the Flying Fijians 15s rugby will do well in the Rugby World Cup in New Zealand next year.

Speaking at the Uprising Fiji International 7s launch last night, Shelford said Fiji could have reached the semi finals of at least two World Cup tournaments.

Shelford said the Fijian brand of rugby is well known and admired throughout the world.
