The FMF Flying Fijians team management feels that the close pool B matches against Japan and Canada had prepared the team well to fight for the full 80 minutes against the Welsh.
Speaking to Village sports, Coach Ilivasi Tabua said that after the intercept try from Martyn Williams in the last six minutes of the game, he sent out a strong message to the boys, "define your destiny!”.
Tabua adds that even when Akapusi Qera was sin-binned for cocking a leg, the boys summoned up the strength from the very depth of their souls.
Although Fiji scored five tries to four, the downside to Fiji's day was the sight of first five-eighths Little, who kicked 18 points, being taken off in a stretcher seconds before the game ended, which has ruled him out for the rest of the tournament. He is likely to be replaced by Waisea Luveniyali.
The FMF Flying Fijians/South Africa game kicks off at 1am on Monday next in Marseille.
Define your destiny!-Tabua
