The FIJI Water Flying Fijians will be looking to improve on their discipline and get a win when they play fifth-ranked France this Sunday.

This will be their 12th Test with France dominating the head-to-head with 10 wins, while Fiji has claimed just one.

Both sides are coming off losses last week, with Fiji going down 38-18 to England, while France were beaten 32-17 by South Africa.

Coach Mick Byrne says discipline remains a major issue after Fiji collected two yellow cards against England, with Selestino Ravutaumada and Josua Tuisova both sent to the bin.

Byrne notes that the cards significantly shifted the flow of the game and disrupted Fiji’s management on the field.

Fiji will face France this Sunday at 8.10am in Bordeaux.
