A rugby commentator is praising the Flying Fijians' discipline after their amazing win against Australia in the Rugby World Cup.
Fiji beat Australia 22-15 - their first victory over the Wallabies since 1954.
Former All Black and Manu Samoa great Ofisa Tonu’u told Pacific Mornings that there was only one team in the game.
"I have to give a lot of credit to their coaching staff and in particular Simon Raiwalui on really knuckling down on their discipline.
"But also having a lot of courage and their physical presence - yup there were a couple of high tackles slipped up but didn't need to go to the pocket.
"So really good work from Fiji and they really didn't give Australia a chance."
Watch the whole interview with Ofisa Tonu'u on Pacific Mornings here.
