The current Fiji shirt is made by global giant Nike who have held the license since 2021. Previous suppliers include Canterbury (1970's - 2003), Cotton Traders (2004-2005), Kooga/BLK (2005-2016) and ISC (2017 - 2021).
Fiji's best Rugby World Cup performances have been in 1987 and 2007, on both occasions reaching the quarter final stage. However, defeats to France and South Africa respectively ensured they wouldn't reach the last 4.
The war dance performed by the team before each Test match is called the cibi, the origins of which date back to the country's warring times with its Pacific neighbours. It's a truly impressive sight to see, especially if you're lucky enough to catch it live!
