The Fiji Rugby Union has confirmed that the Flying Fijians will be playing 5 test matches this year before the 2023 Rugby World Cup later this year.

Acting Chief Executive Officer, Tevita Tuiloa says the union has been budgeting for 10 games for this season including the Rugby World Cup.

He confirmed the Flying Fijian’s first test match is against Tonga in July at the HFC Bank Stadium, followed by two away games against Samoa and Japan.

These three matches are part of the Pacific Nations Cup competitions.

Tuiloa also confirmed two test matches against France and England before they kick off their RWC campaign against Wales on the 10th of September.

The RWC will be held from the 8th of September to the 28th of October, 2023.
