We are set for a true clash of styles tomorrow as the Flying Fijians arrive in Modena to face an Italy side that’s long overdue a victory.

But Italy will take a healthy dose of caution with them as Fiji are two places above Italy in the IRB world rankings and the Flying Fijians 16-all draw against Wales last week, was proof that they should never be underestimated.
 
Fiji always struggles with continuity at the start of tours, but after three weeks together, a further improvement is expected from their Cardiff performance.

It is 3'C in Modena, now and this is the worst weather the Flying Fijians have been hit with so far in the Europe tour.

Fiji's starting 15 includes, Norman Ligairi, Vereniki Goneva, Albert Vulivuli, Gabriele Lovobalavu, Napolioni Nalaga , Seremaia Baï, Nemia Kenatale, Sisa Koyamaibole, Akapusi Qera, Semisi Naevo, Jone Qovu, Wame Lewaravu, Deacon Manu, Tuapati Talemaitoga and Campese Ma'afu.

Flying Fijians and Italy match kicks off at 3am tomorrow.
