Fiji Water Flying Fijians coach Mick Byrne

Fiji Water Flying Fijians coach Mick Byrne believes that with the experience that his players have heading into today’s much-anticipated match against the All Blacks, there will be no surprises.

Byrne says half of the squad is new to professional rugby in the Swire Shipping Fijian Drua but has been playing against New Zealand teams in the past 3 years.

He says the All Blacks players know what to expect from the Flying Fijians as most of the players in the matchday 23 squad are from the Fijian Drua side that they have played against in the Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific competition.

The Flying Fijians will take on the All Blacks at 2.30pm today at Snapdragon Stadium in San Diego, California.
