Fiji: What Could Have Been

Fiji boss John McKee was left wondering what might have been after his side pushed England at times during Friday’s Rugby World Cup opener.

Key misses off the tee from Ben Volavola and Nemani Nadolo prevented Fiji from closing the gap on England during the second half.

"There's disappointment in the dressing room. We came in with high ambitions and at times our errors and some critical penalties and turnovers allowed England to come back into the game, and stopped us from building momentum," said McKee.

"The set-piece was good, and it needs to be at this level.

"It was the players call on the field to change the kicker. The pressure playing in a big stadium was something they felt and if we could have picked up some points at 18-11 when we were coming back into it then the final quarter could have been different.”
