 | I know they're going to start celebrating in Fiji now with a lot of kava and maybe a lot of beer |
Captain Mosese Rauluni hailed Fiji's fighting spirit after they reached their first World Cup quarter-final since 1987 their first win over Wales. "Years ago Fiji would have lost that game, I'm so proud of the boys," said the scrum-half after the 38-34 win.
"They stuck to it, and it comes down to all the hard work and the training we did leading into this World Cup.
"All our wins have been so close, Japan, Canada, those games have helped us to win this game."

He added: "I know they're going to start celebrating in Fiji now with a lot of kava and maybe a lot of beer. Good on them, they deserve it."
The only sour note for the Fijians was a late injury to fly-half Nicky Little, who was stretchered off with what appeared to be a serious knee injury.
A Fiji spokesman confirmed that Little had not broken anything but that his participation in the quarter-final against South Africa is a major doubt.
"We will use Nicky's injury as motivation," said centre Seremaia Bai.
"We are a family and we will play for him like a brother. He's one of the world-class kickers and his experience speaks for itself."
