"Winning is all about bringing the best out of you"

Those are the words of Minister of Youth and Sports Commander Viliame Naupoto as the Flying Fijians presented their I tatau in Nadave last night.

Naupoto stressed to the players the importance of representing their country and says that the whole nation will be supporting the team.

Meanwhile, Flying Fijians Coach Inoke Male has confirmed that less than 10 local players will make the final team for the Europe tour as he will take the core of his team that won the Pacific Nations Cup.

Local players who were present during the i-tatau were Lepani Botia, Setefano Somoca, Nemani Nagusa, Waisea Luveniyali, James Brown and Henry Seniloli. Overseas players who are in the squad include Vereniki Goneva, Seremaia Bai, Napolioni Nalaga, Netani Talei and Sam Matavesi.

The final team will be named this Saturday with Fiji taking on Portugal in their first match on the 10th of next month.
