Fiji Water Flying Fijians Assistant Coach Aaron Mauger says they the team is fit and raring to go against Tonga this afternoon.

Mauger says while there were a lot of things they thought they did well against Samoa in their round 1 Asahi Dry Pacific Nations Cup match, there were areas they could have done better in.

He says Selestino Ravutaumada had to go for shoulder surgery in Australia.

The Assistant Coach says they are also keeping an eye on Isoa Nasilasila who has a niggling injury but should be good to go by next week.

He says he is proud of the depth they have in their squad as they are able to make positional changes.

The game today will also mark 100 years of Fiji and Tonga playing Tests against each other.

Tonga beat Fiji 9-6 in their first test in 1924.

Fiji plays Tonga at 3pm today at Teufaiva Stadium.
