Fiji Rugby World Cup Team
The cibi (pronounced IPA:[ðimbi]) war dance is performed by the Fiji rugby team before each Test match. It has been used on the rugby field since 1939.
Fiji is one of the few countries where rugby union is the main sport. One of the problems for Fiji is simply getting their players to play for the country as many have contracts in Europe or with Super 14 teams.
Many players eligible to play for Fiji end up representing Australia or New Zealand; such as Joe Rokocoko and Sitiveni Sivivatu and Wallabies Wing Lote Tuqiri. Fiji has won the most Pacific Tri-Nations Championships of the three participating teams.
Fiji are ranked 12th in the world.
