The national captain adds they’ve waited for 16 years to make the quarterfinals so its all in their hands now.

“I know it has been 16 years since we have been in the quarter-finals and I told the boys the chance is in front of us and this moment will never come back so we will grab it with both hands, take responsibility and do the best we can.”

Coach Simon Raiwalui says this is a different match after being questioned about the win at Twickenham.

He says this a World Cup, and it’s a knockout match now so it’s either you win or go home.
