As we look ahead to the 2027 Rugby World Cup, questions arise about the prospects of our Flying Fijians advancing to the quarter-finals and potentially the semi-finals. The tournament is set to expand from 20 to 24 teams, which is likely to heighten the competition. This increase may also lead to players advocating for higher salary caps. Many fans are expected to travel to Australia not only to support the team but also to enjoy shopping and reconnecting with family and friends.
There is a strong sentiment for the return of Ben Ryan as a technical adviser. His ability to motivate players in challenging situations is well recognized, as evidenced by his contributions behind the scenes, including his role in helping France secure their first Olympic gold medal in rugby. France proved to be a formidable opponent in the grand final against us.
