The head coach of the Fiji Water Flying Fijians, Mick Byrne, has announced a formidable Match 23 squad set to face Wales in their upcoming Test match, scheduled for early Monday morning (Fiji time). In a Zoom meeting this morning, Byrne expressed confidence in his team’s mental readiness for the challenge ahead.
Byrne highlighted the return of senior players as a significant boost for the squad. “We are pleased to welcome back our senior players as it is a great booster for our next game,” he stated. Reflecting on their previous match against Scotland, he emphasized the lessons learned and expressed enthusiasm for the upcoming game.
The lineup features a strong backline that includes notable players like Semi Radradra, Josua Tuisova, Waisea Nayacalevu, and Jiuta Wainiqolo. Byrne is optimistic that the combination of experienced players and the leadership of young first-five Caleb Muntz will pose a threat to the Welsh team.
“There is a lot of positive energy from the team. They are pumped up for the game, and we know it will be a good matchup,” he commented.
The Welsh side will be eager to secure a win to break their winless streak, but Byrne believes his team has the potential to undermine their efforts. The match is set to kick off at 1:40 am and will be broadcast live on Sky Pacific.
The lineup showcases Fijian rugby talent, and there’s great anticipation for how the Flying Fijians will perform on the international stage.
In conclusion, the Flying Fijians are rallying with strong morale and a promising lineup, suggesting that their upcoming match against Wales could lead to a thrilling encounter. Their preparation and eagerness to reclaim their strength in international rugby indicate a hopeful outlook for their performance.
