Flying Fijians prepare for decider
The Flying Fijians only have to win the match, but if they lose, they will need to lose by 7 points, and the Pacific Nations Cup trophy is on its way to Fiji.
This will be a first for Fiji, a first for coach Samu Domoni Junior and a first for captain, Dominiko Waqaniburotu.
As former Flying Fijians captain, Sale Sorovaki stated that the game against Samoa will be tougher than Tonga, and the boys have to forget about playing catch-up rugby.
Meanwhile, Flying Fijians coach Samu Domoni Junior has made three changes to the side that edged Tonga 41-38 last week, to meet Manu Samoa in their decider match in the Pacific Nations Cup tomorrow.
The changes include Mosese Volavola who will don the Number 8 jersey, and in the backs, Iliesa Keresoni and William Saukuru come in as replacements for Malakai Bakaniceva and Nemani Nadol
Looking at the Flying Fijians team to meet Manu Samoa, Campese Ma'afu, Alefoso Yalayalatabua, Viliame Veikoso, Sekonaia Kalou, Leone Nakarawa, captain Dominiko Waqaniburotu, Malakai Volau, Mosese Volavola, Nikola Matawalu, Jonetani Ralulu, William Saukuru, Iliesa Keresoni, Sireli Naqelevuki, Ropate Ratu and Taniela Rawaqa.
The Flying Fijians/Samoa match kicks off at 3:10pm tomorrow in Apia.
