The Vodafone Fijiana XV is determined to secure a positive result against Scotland this Saturday. Under the guidance of Coach Mosese Rauluni, the team has undergone rigorous training in preparation for their historic European tour, where they will face Scotland and the Netherlands for the first time in rugby history.
Rauluni expressed his confidence in the team’s preparation for these crucial matches. “These two matches will be essential for our preparations for the WXV 3 in Dubai. I believe we can make a strong start against Scotland this Saturday. They are ranked above us, and we respect that,” he stated.
The atmosphere within the Fijiana camp is upbeat, especially with the inclusion of new players who have integrated well into the squad. “It’s very good to see new girls joining. They fit in nicely, enhancing our depth and may earn a place in the WXV3 in Dubai,” Rauluni added.
Fijiana XV is set to compete against Scotland on Sunday at 3:45 am (FJT) at the Hive Stadium. These matches will be critical in preparing the team for the WXV3 tournament in Dubai later this year. “We are excited about the trip,” Rauluni noted.
He acknowledged the challenges of the long journey to Europe, emphasizing the need for careful management. “It’s a lengthy trip, so we need to recover properly. We have recovery scheduled for Saturday, gym time on Sunday, and we will be ready for the test on Saturday.”
