Flying Fijians working on discipline and fitness

Flying Fijians working on discipline and fitness

Discipline is something the FIJI Water Flying Fijians has been working on for a couple of years and it definitely showed on Saturday in their game against Tonga.

Coach Mick Byrne says they have spent a lot of time working on their fitness, so that helps with their discipline as well.

Byrne says if they can get off the ground and get back in line, and keep on side, that's going to help and the boys have worked really hard in that area.

The coach was also impressed with their debutants saying Tuidraki Samusamuvodre controlled the game well out there, adding that Etonia Waqa looked like he was going to get away on a couple of occasions.

He also had high praises for Motikiai Murray and Taniela Rakuro who scored on debut.

Fiji will play Samoa at 3pm this Saturday at Rotorua International Stadium.
