The International Rugby Ranking is favouring the Flying Fijians to convincingly beat Tonga in their Pacific Nation Cup encounter this afternoon but past results weigh heavily for the Ikale Tahi to cause an upset in Apia today.
Since the inception of the PNC in 2006, Fiji's only win against Tonga was last year where they had a 36-22 victory in Nuku-a'lofa.
Fiji sits on the 10th spot at the IRB ranking and Tonga is on the 17th place, a space of 7 spot between the two nations and a clear indication on the strength of the Samu Domoni Jnr coached side.
After yesterday's captains run, the Dominiko Waqaniburotu led side are tipped by rugby pundits to record their second win in the PNC after last week's 22-8 win over Japan.
Former Fiji captain Sale Sorovaki believes that today's game will test the younger players in the Fiji side on how they can handle pressure against a side that it is known to be physical.
The Fiji and Tonga match kicks-off at 12.10pm and you can catch update results on Fijivillage Sports.
