The Air Pacific Fiji Barbarians go into a tough match this week as they face the Pacific Rugby Cup defending champion, Upolu Samoa.

After the 3-point-loss to Savai'i Samoa on Saturday, Barbarians coach Etuate Waqa said his boys had to carry the blame for the loss after an impressive performance in the first half.

Waqa said they can beat the reigning champions, if the players play their part on the field.
