Fijian community in the North plays vital support for the players - Byrne

Fijian community in the North plays vital support for the players - Byrne

In all my time coaching rugby, the Fijian community is the best outside their own home and the players will rely heavily on the vocal support of the fans in England and France.

This was shared by FIJI Water Flying Fijians Coach, Mick Byrne to fijivillage Sports as the team prepare for the Northern Tour.

Byrne says playing England and France in their home turf will not be easy.

He says the closest the players can be to their families is to see the Fijian Community in their white jerseys supporting them.

The side has started training and they will play England at 5.40am next Sunday at the Allianz Stadium in London.
