We are looking at the standards we want to be known for when we take on England, France and Spain – Byrne

We are looking at the standards we set and the standards we want to be known for.

FIJI Water Flying Fijians Coach Mick Byrne highlighted this to fijivillage Sports ahead of the England test this week as he says when they get together in camp it is all about setting their standards and revisiting those benchmarks.

He says they need to work on themselves as people and professionals.

Byrne says they will work on their rugby, but it will sort of take care of itself.

Byrne says it is awesome to have players like Josua Tuisova on the team as they demand attention from the opposition, and it puts pressure on them having to turn up.

He says Tuisova who is part of his leadership core is quiet and lets his actions speak for themselves.

The Flying Fijians meet England this Sunday at 5.40am at Allianz Stadium.
