FIJI Water Flying Fijians are prepared to meet a fired up and physical French side who went down to South Africa on their home ground and will be aiming to prove a point.

Coach Mick Byrne says they have been expecting an intense match and have been planning over the past few weeks around the style of game they want to play and the opposition they are preparing for.

He adds it is great to be able to go against tier one teams at home and give the players a big match experience so they can identify what it feels like but they have also earned the right to be there.

The Flying Fijians play France at 8.10am in Bordeaux tomorrow.
