Matavesi returned to Cornwall where his family live on Tuesday Fiji hooker Sam Matavesi is still expected to play against England in their Rugby World Cup quarter-final clash this weekend despite the death of his father. Matavesi has returned to Cornwall where his father Sireli lived following the tragic news. It is the second family bereavement to have hit the Fiji camp during the tournament after Josua Tuisova’s seven-year-old son Tito passed away after a long illness.
England suffered their first ever defeat to the Pacific Island nation in their final World Cup warm-up match at Twickenham in August, undone by three second-half tries. ‘It’s an opportunity to put a few things right from that game, which was shocking,” England hooker Jamie George told BBC Sport.
