McKEE: FIJI 100% READY

WHAT DO YOU SHARE WITH PLAYERS TEN MINUTES BEFORE THEY RUN OUT ON THE GROUND AMID THE EXCITEMENT OF THE CROWD – HOW DO YOU KEEP THEM FOCUSSED?

In the last ten minutes before a game, we focus on the key tasks that the team needs to achieve as a unit and individually in those first crucial few minutes of the game.

It’s important to get a good start, so those last ten minutes are actually a good time to focus in on the micro-level of the game.

It helps to overcome the distractions of everything else that is going on.

LEADING INTO THE WORLD CUP YOU MANAGED TO WIN THE PACIFIC CHAMPIONSHIP AND YOU HAVE HAD SOME GREAT FORM COMING IN – ALL THAT CHANGES ON FRIDAY, ARE ALL THE PLAYERS FIT AND READY TO GO? NADOLO, FOR EXAMPLE, HAD AN INJURY IN FIJI – IS HE OK?

We’ve got all our players at 100%.

We have been very fortunate and really the only injury we had was Nadolo who missed the PNC.

With all the training and all the games we played we had a few niggly injuries, but they've been nothing that’s kept anyone out for more than a couple of days training at the most.

So yes, we’ve now got a 100% complement to pick from.
