The Flying Fijians coach Ilivasi Tabua is highly likely to retain the same players to play against Japan that fought hard to beat Samoa 19-14 last Saturday.

Tabua said there are no injury concerns to any player in the squad and all are fit to take the field.

He said the final decision on the team for Friday's game will be made later this evening and if changes are needed then there could be only one or two changes to the starting line-up.

Meanwhile, Japan Coach John Kirwan said to beat Fiji, they have to play the full 80 minutes and try to avoid mistakes which could cost them.

Japan has never beaten the Flying Fijians in Fiji but Kirwan believes he has the players that can do their country proud.
