Rugby is special for Fiji as it is the holder of the World Cup in only sevens rugby and we are highly regarded in the world for this.
But some within Fiji are strong supporters of other teams, saying that although they are born in Fiji and are residing here, their heart is with the team they love to watch beat Fiji.
Fijivillage spoke to some of these fans dressed in all black in Suva who are die hard New Zealand fans.
These people may be branded as traitors but they say they love Gordon Tietjens men because they like the culture of the New Zealand team.
Meanwhile, a diehard Fiji fan Vijay Verma said no matter what happens, it is time to sit together and watch our boys.
