The head coach of the Fiji Water Flying Fijians, Mick Byrne, is anticipated to implement several changes to his team lineup as European-based players are set to join the squad, if they haven’t already. The inclusion of veteran players such as Semi Radradra, Waisea Nayacalevu, and Josua Tuisova will provide Byrne with strong options moving forward.
Furthermore, the Top 14 players Jiuta Wainiqolo and Sireli Maqala, who have recently made headlines, will enhance the depth of the team’s back three. However, there is uncertainty surrounding Fijian Drua prop Samu Tawake, who suffered an injury during the recent 57-17 defeat to Scotland. Despite this, the front row is expected to gain strength with the additions of England-based players Eroni Mawi and Samuel Matavesi, along with Bayonne’s Luke Tagi.
Fiji is scheduled to face Wales on Monday at 1:40 AM at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, which promises to be an exciting clash.
This upcoming match is a great opportunity for the Flying Fijians to showcase their strength and depth, especially with the return of seasoned players. The momentum from European leagues could translate into improved performance on the field, providing hope for exciting results in their upcoming fixture. The team continues to prepare diligently, aiming for a strong showing against Wales.
