Reinforcement has arrived at the Fiji Water Flying Fijians camp in Batumi, Georgia, as they prepare for their test match this Saturday.

The arrival of the Europe based players will be an added boost to the morale of the boys.

The Flying Fijians had their first training session at Batumi which included players such as Bristol Bears sensation Viliame Mata, Toulon players Waisea Nayacalevu and Jiuta Wainiqolo, Gloucester back row Albert Tuisue, Lekima Tagitagivalu, Temo Mayanavanua and Reds prop Peni Ravai.

Coach Mick Byrne had earlier confirmed the inclusion of Europe-based players for their test match against Georgia this Saturday and the All Blacks later this month in San Diego, USA.

He also assured fans that this week will be a different story. The Flying Fijians will take on Georgia at 4am Saturday in Georgia.
