Flying Fijians hunt for 7th PNC title

The FIJI Water Flying Fijians will be looking to lift their seventh Asahi Super Dry Pacific Nations Cup title when they face Japan in the final this Sunday in Utah.



The Flying Fijians have won the title six times since its inception in 2006.



Fiji first won the Pacific Nations Cup title in 2013, followed by their four consecutive wins from 2015 to 2018 before losing to Japan in 2019.



They regained the cup last year, thumping Japan 41-17 at the Hanazono Stadium in Japan.



Coach Mick Byrne reckons Japan will be tougher and more clinical, bringing with them fast-paced rugby.



He says Japan will be fast, but they will prepare and be ready for them.



The Flying Fijians will take on Japan at 1.35pm Sunday at the America First Field Stadium in Utah.
