The Fiji Under-19 team taking part in the Oceania Rugby Tournament is expecting a fierce battle with their Tongan counterparts when they meet in their last pool match tomorrow afternoon.
Speaking to Fijivillage sports, Coach Iosefo Bele said they are not taking the 99-3 win against Tahiti last weekend to work in their favour, and still have room for improvement.
Bele adds the match will be an interesting one as both teams go in undefeated in their last pool games, as Tonga thrashed Vanuatu 76-5 and edged Samoa 13-10 in their second game, while Fiji edged Samoa 16-14 and thrashed Tahiti last Saturday.
The Fiji/Tonga match kicks off at 5pm tomorrow at Prince Charles Park. In other games to be held tomorrow, at 12pm Samoa take on PNG and at 3pm Vanuatu meet Tahiti.
