Fiji Airways Flying Fijians expect strong comeback from Maori All Blacks in 2nd test match in NZ

Fiji Airways Flying Fijians expect strong comeback from Maori All Blacks in 2nd test match in NZ

Flying Fijians against Maori All Blacks during Saturday's match

The Fiji Airways Flying Fijians are expecting a strong comeback from the Maori All Blacks in their second test in Rotorua in New Zealand this Saturday.

Coach John McKee is hoping that Fijians that live in New Zealand show up to support the Flying Fijians. 

A couple of players had some niggling injuries in the match against the Maori All Blacks last Saturday and McKee says they will be making some decisions on that.

He says at this stage of the campaign they are not going to push anyone to ensure they have the strongest possible group going forward.

The Flying Fijians meet the Maori All Blacks at Rotorua International Stadium in New Zealand at 7.35pm Saturday.
