The Flying Fijians featured in the Pacific Nations Cup than had two warm-up matches against France and England before the Rugby World Cup kicked off.
Before they played Georgia, they took on Wales and Australia.
The team over-exerted themselves in those matches.
Rugby is a dangerous game. When you get tackled at high speed, you get hurt and lose power.
Just have a look at the bandages and strappings on our players and you will understand why they were not that good against Georgia.
I hope they recover well before the Portugal matchup.
Oh, one message for Eddie Jones, come to Fiji and start drinking kava.
