Fiji Water Flying Fijians head coach Mick Byrne says the focus remains on getting their game plan right as they know that Scotland is a defensive team.

Byrne highlighted this when fijivillage Sports questioned how the team plans to counter Scotland’s forward pack this weekend in the Men’s International Test match.

He says they are just working on their shortcomings.

The coach further says that it doesn’t matter who they're playing, whether it's Scotland, South Africa or Spain - the physical battle is always key and they’re prepared for that.
