The Flying Fijians have dropped to tenth place in the World Rugby rankings following a challenging opening round of the Northern Tour. Their recent match against Scotland ended in a disappointing 57-17 defeat, resulting in Fiji slipping down one position. Australia, previously ranked tenth, has now ascended to ninth place, overtaking Fiji.
Looking ahead, Fiji is scheduled to take on Wales, currently positioned in 11th place, next week. The upcoming match is crucial for the Flying Fijians; a loss could see them drop out of the top ten entirely.
Despite the tough loss, there’s an opportunity for the Flying Fijians to regroup and recalibrate their strategy. A win against Wales could not only restore their position in the rankings but also reignite their momentum on the tour. With determination and teamwork, the Flying Fijians have the potential to bounce back strong.
