After last week’s disastrous performance in Dubai some fans have called on a complete change to the team and management while other believe there will be a complete turnaround and improvement.

Coach Ben Ryan said he knows Fiji did not perform well last week.
Fiji’s second pool game is against Scotland at 1.28am tomorrow and then against New Zealand at 5.58am, which is expected to a thriller given three Fijians are featuring for the side.
Tomasi Cama Jr, Lote Raikabula and 18-year-old Luke Masirewa are in the side.
