The Flying Fijians are fit and tactically astute.

Those were the words of former All Blacks and Blues hooker James Parson as he spoke highly of the Fiji Water Flying Fijians’ chances at the 2023 Rugby World Cup.

Parson says Fiji is like a well-oiled machine especially with some of their exits and discipline to exit.

He says if Fiji can keep that discipline they showed during the Pacific Battle Series, they have a huge chance at the Rugby World Cup.

The Flying Fijians’ first RWC pool clash is against Wales at 7am on the 11th of next month.

Meanwhile, the Flying Fijians are in Bordeaux preparing for their test clash against France in Nantes this weekend.

They will play France at 7.05am Sunday before heading to Twickenham to play England next Sunday at 2.15am.
