SuggestedLeadIn: England players Jonny May and Courtney Lawes look ahead to England's opening match against Fiji at the Rugby World Cup (14th September).

Script: SOUNDBITE (English) Jonny May, England Wing:

(On Fiji)

"They are a team that's developed loads as a team. The individuals they've got throughout their team are big strong men, elusive and they are going to be champing at the bit to have a go at us. It really is going to be a tough game, but like I said we are focused on ourselves and trying to impose our game on them."

SOUNDBITE (English) Jonny May, England Wing:

(On the World Cup opener against Fiji)

"It's a home World Cup, it's at Twickenham, friends and family are going to be there, it's been building a long time, it's going to be an emotional occasion, so we are just going to have to go out there and give it our best. What's going to be important is to not let that emotion get too much. The work rate, the commitment and stuff, we've just got to stay focused and that will take care of itself."

SOUNDBITE (English) Courtney Lawes, England Lock:

(On England's World Cup group)

"It's a tough ask, but we are ready to step up and take that kind of challenge on. Everyone is really motivated, get out there and put it in for the country."

SOUNDBITE (English) Courtney Lawes, England Lock:

(On playing in a home World Cup)

"It's big, but any World Cup is big. Got a fair few caps under me now and I know not to get too carried away. You need to be thinking clearly in stressful conditions and environment. I'm trying to add to the team in that way - keep everyone composed and make sure you are not too heated. You've got to be cool in them kind of games."
