Flying Fijians Gear Up for Epic Clash Against Wales!

The head coach of the Fiji Water Flying Fijians, Mick Byrne, has announced a formidable squad for their upcoming test match against Wales, scheduled for early Monday morning Fiji time. In a virtual meeting held today, Byrne expressed the team’s readiness and mental preparedness for the confrontation.

Byrne emphasized the positive impact of welcoming back senior players, describing their return as a significant boost for the team heading into this challenge. Reflecting on their previous match against Scotland, he noted the lessons learned and the anticipation building for the Wales game.

The lineup features a strong backline that includes notable players such as Semi Radradra, Josua Tuisova, Waisea Nayacalevu, and Jiuta Wainiqolo. Byrne believes that the combined experience in the backline, along with the potential of young first-five Caleb Muntz, will pose a considerable threat to their Welsh opponents.

Byrne mentioned the positive energy swirling within the squad, stating, “They are pumped up for the game, and we know it will be a good matchup.” The Welsh side will look to secure a win to break their winless streak, while Byrne’s team aims to disrupt those plans and capitalize on their strengths.

The match is set to kick-off at 1:40 AM and will be broadcast live on Sky Pacific.
