Fiji’s Flying Fijians kicking coach, Seremaia Bai, emphasizes the importance of physical readiness and team cohesion following their victory against Samoa in the Pacific Nations Cup. As they prepare for their next match against the Ikale Tahi in Tonga on September 6, the team is focused on building on their initial success.
Bai noted that the team had a strong start against Samoa, despite limited preparation time and acknowledged that Tonga would present similar physical challenges. He highlighted the potential of the dynamic roster, which includes many young and emerging players eager to shine on an international platform.
With talented fly-halves like Frank Lomani and Caleb Muntz, Bai expressed confidence in the squad’s capabilities. He remarked on the positive chemistry developing between players from local Drua teams and those competing overseas, indicating that the team’s cohesion is improving.
Bai stated, “The boys have started to gel well together,” and underscored the importance of focusing on the upcoming match against Tonga before shifting their attention to Japan after their return. As they continue their Pacific Nations Cup journey, the Flying Fijians are determined to maintain their momentum and refine their strategies ahead of the tough matchup against Tonga. The game is set to kick off at 3pm next Friday.
