Vunivalu researches what it is like playing the Flying Fijians, warned to expect special attention

As the Wallabies get ready for their crucial match against the Fiji Water Flying Fijians, Fiji-born winger Suliasi Vunivalu has shared some lights on his preparation towards this game as he expects nothing but brutality from his fellow countrymen.

The former Melbourne Storm winger has been doing some research as to how it will feel like playing against the Flying Fijians, especially at the biggest stage of world rugby, the Rugby World Cup.

And there was no one better to do his research than fellow Fijian Wallabies teammate Marika Koroibete who gave him a bit of insight into what the atmosphere was like when they played Fiji in the last World Cup which the Wallabies won 39-21, and Koroibete warned Vunivalu to expect some special attention.

Vunivalu says he was informed of how the Flying Fijians treated the Fijians playing for the Wallabies, especially Samu Kerevi and how they were shouting to belt him in Fijian.

He says they are looking forward to the same situation for this game and he is focused on just playing for Australia against the Flying Fijians.

Vunivalu has rated Flying Fijians centre Semi Radradra highly saying he is going to be a big threat and he is looking forward to playing against him without banter but just respect.

The Wallabies will take on the Flying Fijians at 3.45am next Monday in Lyon.
