Fiji aim to make history against England at World Cup

From Morning Report, 7:57 am on 13 October 2023

It's all eyes on the All Blacks-Ireland showdown Sunday morning but New Zealand aren't the only South Pacific country lining up in the Rugby World Cup quarter-finals.

Fiji will face England in Marseille, and despite the match falling in the early hours of Monday morning, vast numbers of people in the island nation are expected to wake up to watch and support their team.

On the line from Sigatoka in Fiji is Jay Whyte, a tour operator and former long-serving board member on the Fiji Rugby Union.

Whyte spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.
