Smarting Fiji unwind at the beach to recover from Australia agony

KAMAISHI, Japan: Fiji coach John McKee has encouraged his players to unwind at the beach to recover from their controversial loss to Australia before they face Uruguay in their next World Cup Pool D match in Kamaishi on Wednesday .

"One of the things we did do upon arriving at our hotel was to use the ocean here for ocean recovery. "Because it isn’t just the physical tiredness, it is the mental tiredness from the big match in Sapporo."Fiji had looked on course for one of the biggest upsets in World Cup history on Saturday as they held a nine-point second half lead against Australia before the Wallabies tightened up to win 39-21.

Yato missed the rest of the match with concussion and Hodge has since been cited by World Rugby over the tackle.
