The Fiji Water Flying Fijians struggled with errors during the early stages of the game against Spain, and they can not afford to do the same against Ireland this week.

This was highlighted by Fiji Water Flying Fijians Coach Mick Byrne after their second victory during the Autumn Series Tour.

Byrne says the players pulled off a dramatic comeback to defeat Spain 33-19 in front of the Spanish home crowd.

He says that at halftime, the message was patience and sticking to their game plan.

Byrne says the first half was pressurizing, but they knew they needed to hold onto the ball in the second half to score points.

Team captain Waisea Nayacalevu shared his excitement about playing in Madrid.

Nayacalevu says it was amazing to play in that kind of atmosphere and stadium, especially with a proper ground.

The Flying Fijians will face Ireland at the Aviva Stadium this Saturday at 3:10 am.
