We need to be a bit sharper around our breakdowns.

Fiji Water Flying Fijians coach, Mick Byrne highlighted this to the media saying a lot of times our players are looking at little offloads or the next opportunity, and not getting to the ruck as quickly.

Byrne says he does not want to take away our Fijian attitude to play, so it is just around to the decision-making and the ability to not over-commit.

He stresses that they just need to secure the ball at the breakdown.

The Flying Fijians will play Georgia next Saturday in Georgia before playing the All Blacks on Saturday, 20th July in San Diego, USA.
