Head Coach Mick Byrne is poised to implement several changes to the Flying Fijians lineup as Europe-based players join the team ahead of their upcoming match. Notable senior players like Semi Radradra, Waisea Nayacalevu, and Josua Tuisova are expected to strengthen the squad, providing Byrne with robust options.
Additionally, Top 14 stars Jiuta Wainiqolo and Sireli Maqala, who have been in the spotlight lately, will contribute to enhancing the team’s depth in the back three positions. The front row, although facing uncertainty due to Samu Tawake’s recent injury during the heavy 57-17 defeat against Scotland, is set to gain strength with the inclusion of English-based players Eroni Mawi, Samuel Matavesi, and Bayonne’s Luke Tagi.
Fiji is set to face Wales on Monday at 1:40 AM at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff. This match presents an exciting opportunity for the Flying Fijians to demonstrate their competitive spirit and resilience, especially with the returning experienced players.
The influx of talented players into the squad builds optimism for a stronger performance against Wales, showcasing the depth and talent that Fiji has at its disposal. Fans can look forward to an electrifying encounter that may highlight the team’s capabilities and determination to bounce back.
