FIJI Water Flying Fijians Head Coach Mick Byrne expresses satisfaction with the way Fijian Drua and overseas players are bonding ahead of their significant clash against the All Blacks in San Diego next weekend.
Byrne mentioned that the players are well-connected and that the special camaraderie in the camp has elevated the team’s spirit.
He emphasized that the players respect one another, contributing to a strong sense of unity and brotherhood, where each member supports another both on and off the field.
“There is a lot of positivity in the camp, and the energy is definitely high. The Fijian boys are known for their smiles and being happy all the time, so the morale is definitely high as we work on our strategies to tackle the All Blacks,” Byrne said.
The former Fijian Drua mentor believes that big test matches, such as the one against the All Blacks, will prepare the national team well for future challenges, including the 2027 Rugby World Cup.
The Flying Fijians will face New Zealand at 3am next Saturday (Fiji Time).
