The Fiji Water Flying Fijians are always lethal with or without the ball and they have some of the most talented players in the world.

This was highlighted by Wallabies fullback Tom Wright as he speaks about their upcoming July test match against the Flying Fijians in Newcastle next Sunday.

Wright says the Wallabies players have got the taste of the Fijian flair when playing against the Swire Shipping Fijian Drua in the Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific, and now with some European-based players added to the Flying Fijian squad, they will be a dangerous team.

He says the Wallabies have got their eyes fixed on the game next week as that is a really important fixture to sort of leapfrog them into what is a strong line side in July.

The Wallabies will be using this test match to also prepare them for their test match series against the British and Irish Lions next month.

The Wallabies will take on the Flying Fijians at 3.30pm next Sunday at Newcastle International Sports Centre.
