The Fiji Netball under 19 side left our shores last night beaming with confidence hoping they can return with their first ever trans-Tasman title.
Coach Moape Vu said the girls know the expectations for them to perform as they will be facing tough opponents from New Zealand and Australia.
Vu added the side has been training for two months and the reason for leaving early is for the girls to adjust themselves to the weather in New Zealand.
Fiji is pooled with Australia, Malaysia and Team Pasifika.
Fiji will take on Australia in their first match at 7.30pm next Monday in Rotorua.
