Tabai Matson who will be assisting Vodafone Flying Fijians coach John McKee in the Rugby World Cup preparations will be the assistanct coach for the New Zealand Maori against Fiji next month.
McKee says this will be good for Fiji as Matson will be providing some feedback and analysis after their test match and during the World Cup preparations.
McKee adds that the Maori All Blacks play a high profile game which will be a good start to their Pacific Nations Cup competition and the Rugby World Cup.
The Flying Fijians will have two test matches in Fiji including the New Zealand Maori and their opening PNC clash against Tonga.
Meanwhile some of the players in the extended squad who have arrived into the country are captain Akapusi Qera, Benito Masilevu, Adriu Delai, Viliame Veikoso, Henry Seniloli and Metuisela Talebula.
The team is expected to assemble on July 1st to prepare for the PNC competition. They will play against NZ Maori at the ANZ Stadium on July 11.
The PNC kicks off on July 18th.
