There is nothing much to talk about in relation to the Flying Fijians preparation ahead of the last Rugby World cup match against Wales this Sunday.
This is what the Fiji team management had to say when questioned on the preparation for the match against the Welsh.
Media Manager Vilikesa Rinavuaka said everything is running fine in the camp except for Waisea Luveniyali’s leg injury.
Meanwhile, the Fiji rugby team is always well known for its threatening back-line but this has not been the case so far in this year’s Rugby World Cup.
1999 Rugby World Cup coach for Fiji and former All Black, Brad Johnstone said the issue is very clear that the Fijians have been trained out of their play, and this has taken away the team’s X-factor which was well known in the past.
The Flying Fijians and Wales match kicks off 5pm this Sunday and you can catch the live commentary on our sister station Viti FM with the voice of rugby Malakai Veisamasama and expert comments from former Wallaby and former Fiji player and 2007 RWC coach Ilivasi Tabua.
In last night’s match, Georgia defeated Romania 25-9 in their Pool B match.
The Georgians now eye an upset in their final pool match against Argentina on Sunday while Romania's tournament sadly comes to an end after losses in each of their four pool matches.
