The Flying Fijians Management Team has expressed joy at the performance of the national 15s team who this morning played to a 16-all draw with Wales in their Test match.
Manager Talemo Waqa said the draw has instilled faith in the boys and in the fans back home adding that the combination of experienced players like Seremaia Bai and Deaconm Manu coupled with the young hands like Josh Matavesi and Albert Vulivuli worked to their advantage.
It was through the boots of Seremaia Bai that the team managed to rack up penalties and through Savusavu lad Albert Vulivuli that saw Fiji draw with Wales in the dying minutes of the game.
Waqa said that players showed that their age did not matter as they all played their hearts out.
Fiji will take on Italy next week.
Meanwhile, looking at other international test matches that will be played tomorrow morning:
Scotland will be taking on South Africa, England will be facing Samoa, Italy will be taking on Australia while Ireland will be facing off with New Zealand and France will be meeting Argentina.
All these games will be held early tomorrow morning.
