FIJI Water Flying Fijians centre Josua Tuisova is anticipating a formidable match this weekend against France, acknowledging the challenge that lies ahead. With the experience of several years playing in France, Tuisova is well-acquainted with some of the French players and the distinctive style they bring to the game.
Tuisova highlights that the Flying Fijians are focusing on strategic preparations to counter the strengths of the French side. “They’re going to do a lot of kicking games, and we’ve already looked into it. We’re going to solve it as a team,” he stated. He emphasized the physical nature of the upcoming clash, noting that with France’s Top 14 backgrounds, their forwards are likely to dominate upfront. Matching this intensity will be essential for the Fijian squad to succeed.
“We know it’s going to be a physical battle with the forwards, so we need to match their physicality and be ready for anything,” Tuisova added. The Flying Fijians are determined to approach the game with tactical discipline and physical resilience, aiming to make a significant impact against one of Europe’s strongest teams.
The match is scheduled for Sunday at 8:10 AM in Bordeaux, with delayed coverage provided by FBC Sports at 8 PM on Monday. This event not only presents a rigorous test for Fiji but also serves as an opportunity for the team to demonstrate their growth and unity on an international stage, fostering hope and excitement among fans.
As Fiji continues to build toward future competitions, including the 2027 Rugby World Cup, every match is regarded as a chance to enhance their skills and team cohesion. This weekend’s encounter against France is set to not only challenge the Flying Fijians but also to inspire the rugby community in Fiji, setting the tone for their evolving journey in international rugby.
