The achievement of the Flying Fijians in reaching the quarterfinals four years ago will be used as the bench mark for the current side in the Rugby World Cup.
With only 13 days left for the opening pool game, Manager Pio Bosco Tikoisuva said that the current team faces a mammoth task knowing where the 2007 team reached.
Tikoisuva added that he knows the capabilities in this team to be able to do well in New Zealand.
Also today the Flying Fijians received another boost to their preparation with Dahia Shoes now the official footwear of the side.
Fiji’s opening RWC pool game is against Namibia on the 10th of next month.
