Flying Fijians Head Coach, Simon Raiwalui

We have moved on from our historic win over England in Twickenham last week and have turned our focus to the Rugby World Cup.

This has been highlighted by Fiji Water Flying Fijians head coach Simon Raiwalui as he says he is super proud of the players and the management as it has been a tough 8 weeks of preparations for this World Cup.

Raiwalui says they are looking at one week at a time and have their goals in place with their next focus on their first game at the RWC against Wales.

He says they have pushed the players to their limits and there has never been a complaint from them because they have worked hard, honour their values and understand the task ahead of them.

Raiwalui further says they know that they are playing a very good and tough Wales team in their first game and they are looking forward to the challenge.

The Flying Fijians will take on Wales on Monday 11th of September at 7am.

The RWC will kick off next Saturday with hosts France taking on the All Blacks 7.15am.
