Held at the Lensbury Hotel in Teddington, the team’s preparations include two rigorous training sessions to enhance their skills and team synergy ahead of the clash scheduled for Sunday at 5:40am.

The Flying Fijians will strive to blend the seasoned experience of their roster with the fresh talent they have gathered, hoping to showcase their growth on the international rugby stage.
The upcoming match represents not only a chance for redemption but also an opportunity for the players to display the fruits of their hard work and dedication over the past year. The blend of established stars and emerging talents gives fans hope for a thrilling contest, potentially inspiring future generations of rugby enthusiasts in Fiji. As excitement builds around the encounter, the Flying Fijians aim to carry forward their reputation for resilience and competitive spirit this weekend.
