Into the second week away from home and having played their two warm-up matches before the World Cup, the FMF Flying Fijians team is adjusting well to the environment and have had some French sessions to bring them closer to the people.
Speaking to Village Sports from France, HPU Manager Peter Murphy said the boys are exchanging phrases well with the people on the streets of St Affrique and the word "BULA" seems to have sunk in well with the French.
The FMF Flying Fijians will remain in St Affrique until this Friday when they move to the base camp in Moissac.
Meanwhile, England's veteran player Lawrence Dallaglio said the reigning champions won't easily give-up their title. Dallaglio said they will give every team a run for their money.
The Rugby World Cup gets underway on 8th September in France.
