Flying Fijians to address fitness for the long term

Flying Fijians to address fitness for the long term

Fitness will be a key area that the Fiji Water Flying Fijians will work on with the short period of time that they have until their first match of the Pacific Nations Cup against Samoa this Friday in Suva.

Coach Mick Byrne says it is something that they will need to address for the long term as well and also to ensure they are an 80-minute rugby team.

Byrne says this will be a challenge for them not only for this PNC campaign but also for the ongoing build-up towards the Rugby World Cup in 2027.

The Flying Fijians assembled last Saturday in their first training camp for this PNC campaign.

They will take on Samoa at 6pm at the HFC Bank Stadium.
