The Fiji Water Flying Fijians have set their focus on getting more top-tier games in 2025 and competing in the proposed Nations Cup in 2026.

Following their win over Wales, coach Mick Byrne says it was good to beat the Welsh but they have to keep focusing on what's ahead, which includes matches against Spain and Ireland, as well as the 2027 Rugby World Cup.

Byrne highlighted the importance of getting good results on tour, as that determines what opponents they get the following season.

He says following the historic win over Wales, they need to keep producing results.

He adds that this year, the Flying Fijians have been able to get four Tier One nations.

Byrne says where they are coming from and where they have come from, to keep beating the Tier One teams, are landmark moments.

He says they know that they want to live in this arena, with the Nations Cup coming, and they want to be part of that.

Byrne says they are going to be coming in against these teams every year now, and for them to get through to the 2027 RWC and experience those moments on a weekly basis, is going to be great for the team.

Meanwhile, the Flying Fijians will take on Spain at 2am this Sunday in their 3rd November Test match.
