One of the Rugby World Cup’s true feel-good stories has been Fiji’s return to the quarterfinal stages of the game’s global showpiece.

Now in the midst of their quarterfinal clash with England, Fiji have unsurprisingly continued their positive high-skill game rolling.

Trailing 15 – 3, Fiji were in need of a score to keep England in few.

In a way only they can, they did just that as number eight Viliame ‘Bill’ Mata showed off dance moves that would look more at home in a Marseille nightclub than at the Stade Vélodrome.

Taking the match to England, Fiji have been running hard, direct lines before adding in a sprinkling moment of magic.

Simply put, this was another moment that will live long in the memory from the flying Fijians.
