After a stellar performance with the Bristol Bears this season, Fiji Water Flying Fijian loose forward Viliame Mata is anticipating a physical battle against the Wallabies tomorrow.

Mata has reminded the players to win the set-pieces and dominate throughout the 80 minutes.

Speaking to fijivillage Sports from Newcastle, Mata says every test match is physical now, and they will treat this game with high priority.

He says they have a few players who played in the last Rugby World Cup match that defeated the Wallabies, and it boosts the morale of the players to have these senior players around.

The Flying Fijians will face the Wallabies at 3.30pm tomorrow at the Newcastle International Sports Centre.

They will then take on Scotland next Saturday at 3pm at the HFC Bank Stadium in Suva.
