The depth of the Fiji Water Flying Fijians squad has really improved over the last three years

The depth of the Fiji Water Flying Fijians squad has really improved over the last three years through the development of the programs that are coming out of Fiji.

This was highlighted by coach Mick Byrne when talking about the benefits that the team has gained from the last two games against Wales and Spain respectively.

Byrne says the development of their programs also gives them that opportunity to freshen up a few players, but it also gives them a chance to look at how they are and how their preparation is based on the different teams.

He says these past two games have been a learning curve for the team as they now turn their focus to their last Autumn Nations Series match against World Number 2 Ireland.

The Flying Fijians will play Ireland at 3.10am tomorrow at Aviva Stadium.

In other exciting test matches this weekend, Wales will take on South Africa at 5.40am tomorrow, Italy will play the All Blacks at 8.10am tomorrow, Scotland will host the Wallabies at 1.40am Monday, and England will take on Japan at 4.10am Monday.
