The Vodafone Flying Fijians are expecting a different Samoan team in this weekend’s final round of Pacific Nations Cup.

The last time the two teams met was in 2019 where Fiji won 10-8.

Flying Fijians coach, Vern Cotter says they still lack good finishing especially when there is a break or good set piece play.

Meanwhile, Samoa’s coach Seilala Mapusua says they are expecting Fiji to come back stronger after their loss to Australia A last week.

Fiji will play Samoa at 3.30pm this Saturday at Churchill Park.
