Every test match that the Fiji Water Flying Fijians will play is crucial for them in terms of building the players towards the 2027 Rugby World Cup.

And with the November tests coming up, coach Mick Byrne is pleased that they get a chance to play against 3 tier 1 nations like Scotland, Wales and Ireland.

Byrne says playing against these top-tier teams gives them an opportunity to challenge themselves and find out exactly where they are at in the status of world rugby.

He says it also gives them an opportunity to find out what else they will need to do to make sure that when they get to 2027, they are in good shape.

Byrne says each test match will be taken on its merit and they are out to win them all.

The Flying Fijians will take on Scotland on the 2nd of November in their first test before playing Wales on the 10th of November.

They will then take on Spain on the 17th of November in their 3rd test and will play Ireland on the 23rd of November.
