Former Flying Fijians coach Brad Johnstone believes that the national 15s side can reach the quarter final of the Rugby World Cup in New Zealand.
Johnstone who coached the side that took France to the wire in the 1999 Rugby World Cup says that the Samu Domoni coached team has a lot of players who have the potential to do well at the international stage.
He maintained that players have to believe they can achieve the same results four years ago when Fiji lost to Springboks in the quarter final.
Fiji will play against Namibia next Saturday at 3.30pm in their opening World Cup pool game.
You can catch the exclusive live radio commentary of the match on Viti FM with the new voice of rugby, Malakai Veisamasama and 2007 World Cup coach, Ilivasi Tabua.
After the match you can join Brad Johnstone and Sale Sorovaki on the Viti FM Talk back show.
