Gollings says their loss to Samoa was disappointing but they managed to end their pool games on a high.

Fiji will face France at 5:02pm today.

“The disappointing one was Samoa, if we had played like we did in that last game with the control of possession that we had, I believe we would have beaten Samoa. For some reason we tried to speed everything up and I think we got caught up in their style of play. The good thing is we quickly learnt from that and the team bounced back.”

In other Cup quarter-finals to be held today, Samoa will face Uruguay at 4:18pm, Argentina will take on Australia at 4:40pm while New Zealand will meet Great Britain at 5:24pm.
