Spain is going to be a huge challenge for the Fiji Water Flying Fijians this week when the two teams clash in the third round of the Autumn Nations series.

Flying Fijians coach Mick Byrne has rated Spain highly and says they would be a challenge, especially after their 33-24 win over Uruguay over the weekend.

Byrne says Fiji will have to regroup and get the job done before turning their focus to Ireland in their last test which is in two weeks.

Byrne further says Ireland will be primed when they come up against Fiji because they have some big games ahead of them this week and next week.

He says this is a great opportunity for Fiji to test themselves against the best in the world.

The Flying Fijians will take on Spain at 2am this Sunday in Valladolid, Spain.
