The Flying Fijians are all set to start their 2012 campaign in the Pacific Nations Cup against the defending champions, Japan.

Memories of Fiji's dismal performance in last year's PNC is still fresh in the minds of rugby fans where Japan triumphed over Fiji at Churchill Park with a world record number of sin bins for the Flying Fijians, who finished the match with only 12 men.

Speaking from Japan, Fiji 15's Coach, Inoke Male said that they are making a fresh start and are ready to tackle the Japanese tonight. 


Meanwhile, Japan Coach, Eddie Jones said that his players need to put pressure on Fiji when Japan has the ball in attack and put pressure on Fiji when they do not have the ball.

Fiji will play Japan at 10.10 tonight in the Pacific Nations Cup while Samoa takes on Tonga at 8:10pm.

Meanwhile, in the other international test match tonight, Australia will host Scotland at 9:30.
