The FIJI Water Flying Fijians are intensifying their preparations for the semi-final matchup against the USA in the Asahi Super Dry Pacific Nations Cup. After finishing at the top of Pool A, the Flying Fijians will take on the USA, who secured the runner-up position in Pool B.
The team has gathered in Nadi after their impressive victory over Tonga and has resumed training to focus on the upcoming challenge. Despite no major injuries reported, the squad will be without centre Adrea Cocagi, who is facing a four-game suspension due to a red card received during the match against Tonga.
Coach Mick Byrne expressed confidence in the team’s potential, stating, “I don’t know whether there’s a ceiling in this squad as they’re a very talented team.”
The match is scheduled for 10:05 PM Fiji time this Saturday at Chichibu Memorial Stadium in Tokyo, Japan. In the other semi-final, Japan, the top team in Pool B, will go head-to-head with Samoa on Sunday, September 15th, at 6:05 PM Fiji Time, also at the same venue.
