Great opportunity to finish season on a high - Byrne

With a few hours to go before their final Autumn Nations game against Spain, FIJI Water Flying Fijians Coach Mick Byrne says this game is a great opportunity for them to finish their season on a high.

Byrne highlighted this from their camp in Spain saying it will be a big challenge, as they witnessed playing them last year.

He says they are looking forward to a tough challenge, as Spain has got a number of Top 14 players in their squad.

The Flying Fijians coach says it is a great opportunity for them to finish their three game November tour by putting in a great performance.

Byrne has made seven changes to the starting fifteen with Haereiti Hetet, Tim Hoyt, and Setareki Turagacoke joining the tight five, while Vilimoni Botitu, Sireli Maqala, Joji Nasova, and Setareki Tuicuvu also earn starting spots.

Fiji takes on Spain at 4am tomorrow.
