It was a hard pill to swallow but it leaves a taste that the Flying Fijian 15s rugby team will have to learn from this Saturday's second Europe Tour Test match against Wales.

After going down 34-12 to the French yesterday the Fiji team will have a lot of soul searching to do for their showdown against a Welsh side which is also out to restore some pride in their team.

For the Wales team this is the only opportunity to win the heart of their fans after losing to Fiji in the 2007 Rugby World Cup and with a close loss to Australia and South Africa in the past weeks.

Manager, Talemo Waqa said the coaching staff have identified areas which they saw contributed to the downfall against France yesterday which they do not want a repeat on Saturday.
