EVERYONE with a bit of rugby blood in their veins will be hoping that Fiji can replicate their efforts against Wales but we have our worries about them this afternoon in Marseille. Nicky Little, their out-half last week, misses out with a knee injury and it's important to remember that it was the former Saracens player's common sense and accurate goal-kicking that allowed much of his side's off-the-cuff rugby to happen against Wales.
Seremaia Bai replaces him in the number 10 shirt and while he'll run and offload as well as the rest of his teammates, Fiji will certainly miss Little's pragmatism.
"The most important thing for us is not wondering who we're going to be playing because when we left South Africa people were saying we'd be playing Wales, " says Jake White. Therefore if the Sprinboks can ensure complacency isn't a factor then we can see them winning by 20 plus points. Underestimate Fiji, though, and it will be a lot closer.
