Flying Fijians Coach Vern Cotter says it’s a great challenge in front of them when they face the All Blacks twice and everybody needs to lift the standard and be at their best.

Cotter says their players who will be joining from Europe need to be aware that this is no small challenge but it’s a massive one as they get two test matches against the All Blacks in New Zealand.

He says they have been looking at the overseas and local players and trying to get them back in time for quarantine and training so they can prepare properly for the first game.

FRU CEO John O’Connor says they have been liaising with everybody to make sure that the players know the time scale of travel, quarantine and training.

Cotter is expected to announce his extended squad for the two test matches later in June.

The Flying Fijians will take on the All Blacks on July 10th and then on the 17th.
