Flying Fijian 15's Rugby Coach Ilivasi Tabua is racing against time in molding the national 15's rugby team for next Saturday's opening Pacific Nation Cup game against Samoa.

The side moved to Lawaqa Park in Sigatoka this afternoon to prepare for Samoa as Tabua had only 9 days to try and win the first game at home.

Speaking to Fijivillage, Tabua said that this is a new beginning and the challenge is on the players to step up their performance.
