Samoa falls back to 11th position in World Rugby ranking after loss, Fiji remains in 13th

We still have a lot of things to work on despite the win. These were the words of Fiji Water Flying Fijians Head Coach Simon Raiwalui after the team's 33-19 bonus point win over Samoa yesterday. He says they wanna fix the areas they lacked in before their next match against Japan next weekend. Captain Semi Radradra says they will now go back to the drawing board and asses their game against Samoa yesterday and work on improving from their mistakes.

The Flying Fijians will now turn their focus to Japan next week for the final round of the Punjas Pacific Battle Series in Tokyo.

In another Pacific Battle Series match last night, Japan defended their home turf with a 21-16 win.

Meanwhile, Samoa's loss has seen them fall out of the top 10 of the latest World Rugby rankings placing them now into the 11th position with Japan moving to 10th, while Fiji remains in 13th position.

The Flying Fijians will take on Japan at 10.15pm next Saturday.
