Flying Fijians prepared for physical battle against Scotland

Fiji Water Flying Fijians head coach Mick Byrne says the focus remains on getting their game plan right as they know that Scotland is a defensive team.

Byrne highlighted this when fijivillage Sports questioned how the team plans to counter Scotland’s forward pack this weekend in the Men’s International Test match.

He says they are just working on their shortcomings.

The coach further says that it doesn’t matter who they're playing, whether it's Scotland, South Africa or Spain - the physical battle is always key and they’re prepared for that.

When asked if the team is mentally stressed following the narrow 21-18 loss against the Wallabies last Sunday, Byrne says the team is excited about the opportunity to face Scotland

He adds that they were disappointed when they couldn’t win the previous match but the team knows what they have to do on the ground this Saturday.

Fiji will host Scotland at 3pm on Saturday at the HFC Bank Stadium, Suva.
