Fiji coach John McKee: 'Fiji can exploit England's weaknesses'

Fiji coach John McKee believes that England have weaknesses which his side can exploit in the World Cup's opening fixture at Twickenham on September 18.

Fiji coach John McKee has stated that his side can exploit England's potential weaknesses when the teams meet at Twickenham on September 18.

Fiji are rated as underdogs for the opening Rugby World Cup fixture, but the New Zealander believes that his team can cause the host nation problems if they play to their strengths.

"We have a way that we believe to play to our strengths which doesn't change a lot depending on who we're playing," McKee told reporters at Fiji's base in Weybridge.

"We've watched England play a lot of games and we've watched their players play a lot of games so we think there are some chinks there that we can exploit.

"There'll be parts of the game when it's quite open. It's test match rugby and there'll be long periods of time when both teams are trying to establish a field position or get out of their half," Fiji's coach said of the upcoming encounter."

McKee, who has previously stated that he sees Fiji's World Cup group as a pool of opportunity, will also take charge of the side in Pool A fixtures against Australia, Wales and Uruguay.
