The Flying Fijians have done all their homework and should beat the New Zealand Maori after 51 years today at Lautoka's Churchill Park. Fiji Rugby Union's (FRU) High Performance Unit manager Peter Murphy said it's going to be one hell of a game not to be missed.
Murphy also confirmed that captain Mosese Rauluni won't be playing against Japan next week, while Filimoni Delasau is expected to miss the Australia A match because of his new contract in France.
Meanwhile, New Zealand Maori team coach Donny Stevensen said the heat in the western division may affect his side but they have a good game plan.
Stevensen said the team with better set pieces will win the match today.
The Fiji/New Zealand Maori match will kick off at 3pm. You can catch the live commentary of the match on our sister station Viti-FM.
