Mastercard Player of the Match, Josifini Neihamu

On being named Mastercard Player of the Match:

"I didn't think I would be the player of the match today but I thank God for giving me strength. And to my teammates, well deserved for the win today. It was a tough week for us, we prepared so well, even though we lost our first two games, but it's a big win for us today and I thank my team mates.

On her two important tries and the steal at the end, and which was more important:

"For me the steal at the end was more important, because that is for my teammates and for my country.

"I'm very proud, we gave our all today and we are making our family back home proud and today is for our family back home. Thank you for waking up at this time back at home to watch us. The win today is for you guys."

Alfreda Fisher, captain

Emotional reaction to the win:

"First of all I thank the Lord and the girls, we've come so far and we've worked really hard to be here. I thank the girls for giving their all, I'm really happy. This is more than anything we've dreamt of.

"Tonight we'll sing on top of our lives. We're going to sing to give thanks to the Lord for giving us the strength to perform here today, and to thank the audience, the people who came out here to see us play today. We really appreciate it. It's in everyone, so thank you."

Ioan Cunningham, head coach

On how big this win against Wales feels:

"This is huge, it's massive for Fiji Rugby and Fijiana. We set out on this journey to inspire young women and girls to play rugby back at home in Fiji, and I think the team have done that, I'm so proud of them."

On how they have achieved it:

"We've got an incredible group of athletes and players who can really do special things on the field. My task has been to get that out of them, get them to express themselves and play with no fear, and we showed that today."

On the job coaching Fiji:

"It's been challenging, coaching in the heat is hard, but it's a great place with awesome people and I'm really thankful for how they've embraced me and my family as well. I'm just really proud of them.

"Just the spirit they have and the togetherness, it's awesome, just really proud. This is an awesome platform for Fiji and the team to build upon, and who knows, the next four years they could do something really special."

On the Prince of Wales and Fiji great Waisale Serevi being in attendance and whether he gets star-struck seeing him:

"I did actually (get star-struck). When I first met him I said "that's Serevi, the legend" but he's been great helping us and his daughter playing for us and just having his presence and having him around has been great."
