The halves combination of Frank Lomani and Isaiah Armstrong-Ravula will benefit the Fiji Water Flying Fijians more than setting up a target for the opposition.

This was highlighted by Head Coach Mick Byrne as the team continued their preparation for tomorrow’s final July test against the All Blacks.

Byrne says it benefits them because this combination has been there throughout this year for the Swire Shipping Fijian Drua in the Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific competition.

Byrne says they know the All Blacks will be having quite a few uncapped players in their squad for this match but the Flying Fijians will be doing everything they can to make it an uncomfortable night for these All Blacks debutants.

Caleb Muntz has been named on the bench.

The Flying Fijians will take on the All Blacks at 2.30pm tomorrow at Snapdragon Stadium in San Diego.
