FIJI Water Flying Fijians Head Coach Jake White believes his players have the talent to compete with the best in the world and says there is no reason for them to take a step back against top international teams.
White says he has coached some of the world's best rugby players, including George Smith, Schalk Burger, Bryan Habana and Jean de Villiers, and believes the Flying Fijians have the ability to compete at the highest level.

White highlights that the Flying Fijians conceded only three penalties in their last Test match, something he says is rare in international rugby.
He says he is excited about the talent within the squad, particularly the players' willingness to learn and their enthusiasm to perform well.
White adds that there is growing excitement among supporters in Fiji and even in South Africa to see how the Flying Fijians perform this weekend.
The Flying Fijians take on France at 8.10am tomorrow.
