We are not too worried about our rankings as we are just focused on winning our games.

These were the words of Fiji Water Flying Fijians Head Coach Simon Raiwalui during a press conference leading up to tomorrow’s Punjas Pacific Battle Series round 2 clash against the Manu Samoa side.

He says the rankings will improve if they focus on the important task first and that is winning their games just like how Samoa did which has seen them climb up the ranks into the top 10.

Raiwalui says the actual rankings will come with the results produced.

He further says he is looking to test out the team’s new combinations tomorrow and they are looking to improve from their performance last week against Tonga.

The Flying Fijians will take on Samoa at 2pm in Apia, Samoa.
