Reducing penalty against England will be key- Byrne

Discipline will be a major focus for the FIJI Water Flying Fijians as they prepare to take on England at Twickenham tomorrow morning.

Speaking from London, Flying Fijians Coach Mick Byrne revealed the team has been working hard on reducing unnecessary penalties and tightening their game management.

He says training has been intense, with a strong emphasis on game-speed scenarios to match England’s expected fast start.

Byrne says the players are getting fitter every week, and he believes they can go toe-to-toe with England for the full 80 minutes.

He says they are confident they can play out any game, but the key is to do it on their terms.

Fiji takes on England at 5.40am tomorrow.
