Fiji is on the verge of a breakthrough in international rugby.
Never before in the history of the game as far as Fiji is concerned that we have to face the number one team a couple of months away from a rugby world cup.
Coupled with the historic precedent by the Samoans 35-25 upset over the Wallabies last Sunday.
We have nothing to lose but step up and make the big hits with hands wrapped around those Kiwis.
As long as we have our hands wrapped around them we can hit them hard in the mid-section.
That has been the biggest arsernal of the Pacific islanders and it will always be.
The high number of penalties, yellow cards and the dreaded red cards can be beaten as long as we make those tackles legal.
Samoans have shown the maturity and depth of playing international club games and leading the way in circumventing that problem.
We can get back into that mode if we want to beat the big teams.
One good hit will be enough to negate their attacking flair; a second one will give them the opportunity to cough balls up for the taking.
Thank you Samoa for paving the way.
It is now up to us to go a step further and tame the number one team in the world.
