Fiji Water Flying Fijians flanker, Mesake Vocevoce

Fiji Water Flying Fijians flanker, Mesake Vocevoce says he loves to compete against the best teams in the world and being part of the November tour will help him fulfill his ambition of being the best player in his position.

Fiji will try and capitalize on the poor performance of the Welsh rugby team this year after their nine-Test losing run and handing themselves the first wooden spoon since 2003.

Vocevoce attended Sangam SKM College in Nadi and played football in primary and secondary school, but did not start playing rugby until he left secondary school.

He says they have worked on their discipline because it was a major issue last week.

Vocevoce is urging Fijians in Europe to come in numbers and support the team during this game.

The Flying Fijians will take on Wales at 1.40am Monday at the Millennium Stadium.

In other Test-matches, the All Blacks will take on Ireland at 8.10am tomorrow, the Wallabies will face England at 3.10am Sunday, the Fiji Water Flying Fijians will meet Wales at 1.40am Monday and Scotland will play South Africa at 4.10am Monday.
