Fiji have insisted they will block out the “outside noise” surrounding the prospect of a World Cup quarter-final showdown against England, with the scrum-half Frank Lomani adamant the Pacific Islanders’ historic win at Twickenham last month would count for nothing.

Lomani came off the bench to kick seven vital points and leave Fiji within touching distance of the knockout stages after showing signs of nerves with a quarter-final spot beckoning.
