Byrne expressed his appreciation for Scotland Rugby’s support in helping the team acclimatize before the match, noting that the transition was smooth, especially after arriving last Friday. The players faced significant jet lag, but they have successfully overcome this hurdle.

Training sessions have been progressing positively, with players feeling energetic and enthusiastic ahead of the game. “Physically, we are prepared,” Byrne stated, highlighting the team’s upbeat spirit during practice, especially during sessions involving contact and pacing.

Recognizing the strengths of the Scottish team, Byrne acknowledged the leadership of coach Gregor Townsend, who brings a unique approach to the game. He respects the depth and quality of the Scottish side, knowing that they will challenge Fiji’s defense.

Expecting a sell-out crowd at Murrayfield, Byrne encouraged the Fiji fans to come out and support the team, despite the likely majority of Scottish supporters. He looks forward to seeing the presence of Fiji’s colors among the crowd.

The Flying Fijians will face Scotland at 5:30 AM this Sunday, followed by matches against Wales and Spain before concluding their tour against Ireland on November 24.

Overall, as the Flying Fijians prepare for this intense matchup, the team’s determination and enthusiasm could inspire a strong performance, igniting the hopes of their fans and fans of the sport.
