The FIJI Water Flying Fijians are intensifying their preparations for the upcoming semi-final match against the USA in the Asahi Super Dry Pacific Nations Cup. Having finished at the top of Pool A, the Flying Fijians will face the USA, who secured the runner-up position in Pool B.
The team has reconvened in Nadi after a convincing victory over Tonga and has resumed training with a concentrated effort on the upcoming challenge. Although there are no major injuries reported within the squad, they will be without center Adrea Cocagi, who is serving a four-match suspension due to a red card received in the match against Tonga.
Coach Mick Byrne is hopeful regarding the team’s potential. “I don’t know whether there’s a ceiling in this squad as they’re a very talented team,” Byrne remarked.
The match is scheduled for 10:05 PM Fiji time this Saturday at Chichibu Memorial Stadium in Tokyo, Japan. In another semi-final, Japan, the leaders of Pool B, will compete against Samoa on Sunday, September 15th, at 6:05 PM Fiji Time, at the same venue.
