Flying Fijian halfback Frank Lomani has underscored the challenge that Ireland poses, acknowledging that despite their recent inconsistent performances during the Autumn Tests, they cannot be underestimated. Ireland suffered a 23-13 defeat against New Zealand and managed a narrow 23-19 victory over Argentina, reflecting a dip from their earlier status as the world’s top-ranked team.
Lomani emphasized the importance of staying alert, stating, “We spoke about these the last two days, that Ireland was the number one team a few months ago, and at the moment that they are so vulnerable that we as a team can capitalize on that.” He acknowledged Ireland’s formidable reputation despite their recent struggles and noted, “The team’s not like what it was a few months ago, but they are still in the top three.”
The onus is now on the Flying Fijians to maintain their momentum and perform at a high level. Lomani highlighted the need for teamwork, indicating that coaches and senior players are committed to this endeavor. He urged his teammates to build on the progress made in their last two matches.
The Flying Fijians are set to face Ireland at Aviva Stadium this Sunday at 3:10 AM, and Lomani’s confident tone suggests that his team is ready to seize the opportunity presented by Ireland’s current form.
As the match approaches, fans can look forward to what promises to be an exciting contest, with the Flying Fijians aiming to demonstrate their growth and resilience on the international stage. This provides a hopeful outlook for their upcoming game and the potential for significant achievements in the future.
