The 26-year-old, making his debut, is recognized by Byrne as a versatile player who will bring a vigorous and combative spirit to the match.
Byrne emphasized the challenge posed by the Spanish side, known for their physical style of play. “They are a very physical team, and they are going to come at us hard,” he remarked. Highlighting Uluinakauvadra’s fitness and strength over the ball, Byrne expressed excitement for the debutant’s performance in the game.
The coach also noted Uluinakauvadra’s impressive journey through the ranks of Fiji Rugby, having represented the country at both the Under-20 level and with the Fiji Warriors. “He is a product of the system over the years, and we are really looking forward to seeing him come out and showcase his talents for the Flying Fijians,” Byrne added.
