The Fiji A management team are preparing their boys for a tough physical encounter against the Tonga A side, in the first of their two test matches that will be played on Friday.

Fiji A co-coaches Sale Sorovaki and Inoke Male have stressed to the boys that Pacific rivalry will be at its peak in both matches and the boys have to prepare themselves for that.

Sorovaki has told the boys to play a good, tough game and maintain good leadership on the field, as most easily lose their temper, which results in yellow cards been issued during the match.

Meanwhile, the Fiji A side will have their first run today after the official team announcement was made during weekend.

The Fiji A versus Tonga first test match will be held at the TFL stadium  on Friday, while the second test match will be held at Churchill Park in Lautoka on April 23.
