The Fiji Water Flying Fijians are preparing for an exciting semi-final match against the USA in the Asahi Super Dry Pacific Nations Cup, scheduled for this Saturday at 10:05 PM Fiji time. The game will take place at the Chichibu Memorial Stadium in Tokyo, Japan.
The Flying Fijians topped Pool A and will be up against the USA, who finished as runners-up in Pool B. Japan, which led Pool B, will compete against Samoa in the other semi-final on September 15th at 6:05 PM Fiji time, also at the same venue.
After their strong performance against Tonga, the Flying Fijians returned to Nadi over the weekend and resumed training. While there are no major injury concerns, centre Adrea Cocagi will be unavailable for the next four matches due to a red card received in the game against Tonga.
Coach Mick Byrne expressed his confidence in the team’s abilities, remarking after their victory in Nuku’alofa, “I don’t know whether there’s a ceiling in this squad as they’re a very talented team.”
Additionally, Tonga and Canada will compete for fifth place on September 14th at 7:00 PM Fiji time at the Prince Chichibu Memorial Stadium.
