“Fiji’s new look backline that played against Japan put up a superb performance.”

That’s the assessment of Fifteens coach Inoke Male.

Setareki Koroilagilagi, Aisake Katonibau, Vereniki Goneva, Watisoni Votu, Waisea Nayacalevu, Simeli Koniferedi and Nikola Matawalu’s performance exceeded Male’s expectations.

Male said the challenge now is for them to step up and also for the Sevens players to adapt to the fifteens game.
