There are hopes that the Flying Fijians will make it to the quarter-finals and possibly advance to the semi-finals in the upcoming 2027 Rugby World Cup. The tournament will see an increase in participants, expanding from 20 to 24 teams, which is likely to heighten competition among teams. This could also lead to players seeking higher salary caps. Many fans are expected to travel to Australia for the matches, taking the opportunity to shop and reconnect with family and friends.
There is a desire among supporters for Ben Ryan to return as a technical adviser due to his ability to inspire players in challenging situations. His previous experience, including a behind-the-scenes role that contributed to France winning their first Olympic gold medal in rugby, demonstrates his potential value. The French team notably performed strongly against Fiji in the grand final.
