After their 26-14 win over the Australian School Boys last night, Vodafone Fiji U18 captain Anare Tabakaucoro says it was the first time for them to represent Fiji and it meant a lot to them.

Tabakaucoro says he just wants to thank the boys for stepping up.

The captain says it's back to the drawing board plus more training as they prepare for their second game on Tuesday.

U18 Coach, Peniona Ranitu says he is happy with their win as the team executed their game-plan, running with the ball.

Ranitu says he is glad the boys made use of the opportunities presented by playing Fijian free-flowing rugby.

He says they studied the way the Australians played by running the ball up the middle and were able to nullify that on the field.

The two teams square up again at 3pm Tuesday at Lawaqa Park, Sigatoka.
