Coleman warns the Wallabies of the Flying Fijians forward pack

Coleman warns the Wallabies of the Flying Fijians forward pack
The Wallabies are wary of the Flying Fijians forward pack.

Wallabies lock Adam Coleman has warned the Wallabies that the Vodafone Flying Fijians forward pack will also be a huge challenge on their test on Saturday in Melbourne.

Coleman says that Fiji is a quality side and they are not going to underestimate them.

The Flying Fijians tight five held their own in the scrum against the Wallabies at the 2015 World Cup, which Australia won in a tight battle 28‑13.

Only prop Manasa Saulo is missing from that Fiji tight five on Saturday.

Lock Leone Nakarawa has also been targeted as a threat alongside a handful of back-rows Dominiko Waqaniburotu and captain Akapusi Qera.

With experienced Wallabies forwards Scott Fardy, Rob Simmons, Dean Mumm and Will Skelton all overlooked, there appears to be a changing of the guard.

Meanwhile the national side will have a day off today and will continue with their training tomorrow.

Fiji last beat the Wallabies in 1954.

The Wallabies will host the Flying Fijians at 5pm Saturday in Melbourne.
