John McKee pleased with England homework

John McKee claims that his Fiji side are fully prepared for the challenge of taking on England in the World Cup opener.

John McKee has claimed that Fiji are comfortable with the preparations they have made for the World Cup opener against England.

Hosts England start as favourites to kick off the tournament with a win at Twickenham on Friday evening, but McKee insists that his side are confident of capitalising on any weaknesses in Stuart Lancaster's side.

It is likely to take two upsets for Fiji to stand any chance of progressing from a Pool A which also includes Australia, Wales and Uruguay.

"We have had a good look at England over a number of competitions now and we recognise that they are a very good side across the board and they have got a number of strengths," McKee told reporters.

"Maybe there are some chinks in their armour which we will keep for ourselves. Maybe we will keep that up our sleeves and see if things come off for us."

Fiji have lost all five of their previous meetings with England.
