Italy to target Fiji forwards

Italy to target Fiji forwards

Flying Fijian 15's rugby technical adviser, Greg Mumm will have a lot of work in his shoulder as they prepare for the last test match on tour against Italy on Sunday.

After the forwards struggled to hold their own against Wales last weekend during the scrum it will be an area where Italy again will target this weekend.

Mumm knows that against the Azzurri, Fiji needs a stable scrum to allow their fast back line to operate but after conceding a lot of penalties in their last two test matches he will need to look at ways to do better on Sunday.

Manager Talemo Waqa has confirmed that the coaching staff will do a review of the Wales game looking at plays that worked and things that didn't quite come off before they will finalise the team on Friday.

Fiji will take on Wales on Sunday at 3am.
