Fly-half Isaiah Armstrong-Ravula expressed optimism as the team prepares for the upcoming challenge, stating that they have learned significantly from last week’s game. “The preparation has been good; obviously, we took a lot of learnings from that game and we’re just training hard, hoping for a better result,” he mentioned confidently. He also excitedly noted the inclusion of European players like Waisea Nayacalevu, Josua Tuisova, Sam Matavesi, and Albert Tuisue, who bring valuable experience to the squad.
Armstrong-Ravula and teammate Mesake Vocevoce conveyed their eagerness for the clash, emphasizing the importance of head coach Mick Byrne’s advice to maintain confidence and to support each other despite the pressures of the game. “Everyone makes mistakes; it’s how you react to that,” he added, highlighting the team’s positive mentality as they look to bounce back.
The match against Wales is set to take place on Monday at 1:40 AM, and the Flying Fijians are hopeful they can return to winning ways.
