Flying Fijians coach John McKee believes his team will have a physical edge over England in tomorrow morning's Rugby World Cup opener at Twickenham.
The hosts are handsome favourites with the bookmakers but McKee says Fiji's preparation has been ideal and his players are ready to rise to the occasion.

John McKee says England have a big and powerful team but he believes his side is capable of matching them.
"If you look at areas of advantage yeah I think the athleticism, the speed and the strength of our players is a point of difference, from most teams that we play against, but you need to do the work in winning the ball and controlling other areas of the game to be able to utilise those strengths."
John McKee says Fiji will have to play the full 80 minutes to have any hope of causing a monumental upset.
