OITA, Japan: Fiji will look to put pressure on Wales' rejigged back row in their Rugby World Cup clash on Wednesday as the Pacific islanders seek to keep their faint quarter-finals hopes alive, coach John McKee said.
The only change to the Fiji starting side that thrashed Georgia 45-10 in their last start, Olympic rugby sevens gold medallist Mata will stand with openside flanker Semi Kunatani and blindside captain Dominiko Waqaniburotu. "Wales certainly look to attack the ball on the carriers and either try to win turnovers or slow the ball up. That is going to be a critical area for us, firstly to make sure we get good continuity and that secondly, we are effective enough to get quick ball," he said.
