Fiji Water Flying Fijians coach Mick Byrne says they will focus on doing their work and what the All Blacks are doing.

Byrne highlighted this to fijivillage News from Georgia on how they can counter the All Blacks or take the opportunities they will present.

He says the depth of the squad has improved to the point where now when they play the All Blacks they will be focusing on themselves.

The Flying Fijians coach says our Northern hemisphere players are playing against French, English and Irish internationals every week so they are being tested in an international arena every weekend.

He says the growth of the Flying Fijians has been boosted with the inclusion of the Swire Shipping Fijian Drua team which has created a more professional depth.

The Flying Fijians will fly over to San Diego at the end of this week.

Fiji takes on the All Blacks at 2.30pm next Saturday at Snap Dragon Stadium, San Diego.
