Fiji confident of upse ing France

-

– Fiji coach John McKee named a side yesterday he said was capable of springing an upset win over France in Paris this weekend.

The Pacific islanders have a 9-0 losing record against Les Bleus but McKee said Fiji were confident after demolishin­g Uruguay 68-7 last week.

McKee has largely reverted to his first-choice side, which lost 54-17 to Scotland earlier this month.

“There were some hard questions this week and the team to run on the field is the team we believe will beat France,” the New Zealander said. –
