Caleb Muntz, the first five-eighth for the Fiji Water Flying Fijians, expressed immense pride following the team’s historic 24-19 victory over Wales in Cardiff. Muntz, who contributed an impressive 19 points to the comeback win, shared his excitement about the match’s significance.
“It means a lot,” Muntz said after the game, highlighting the challenges the team faced with their upcoming November tour, which includes matches against high-caliber opponents. He noted that, following last week’s performance, the team had to regroup and address their issues.
Muntz emphasized the importance of winning at the Principality Stadium, reflecting on the team’s past efforts. “We haven’t won here before; we have away wins but not in this stadium. After our last-minute loss to them at the Rugby World Cup, this victory means a great deal to all of us.”
His individual performance during the match was remarkable, as he completed 11 tackles, made 13 passes, scored one try, converted one, and successfully kicked four penalties, accumulating a total of 19 points. His statistics also included a notable 83 run meters, two clean breaks, and a tackle success rate of 92%.
The win not only marks a significant milestone for the Fiji team but also serves as a source of motivation for them as they look ahead to the future. With strong performances like Muntz’s, the Flying Fijians are poised to make a mark against their upcoming opponents.
