Flying Fijians all set for Wales

The Fiji Water Flying Fijians are set to kick off their Nations Championship campaign with a challenging match against Wales in Cardiff. Coach Senirusi Seruvakula has named a strong squad, emphasizing that the team is accustomed to playing away from home and that the players are professionals who understand the stakes.

"Our squad may have spent less than a week together, but they’re professionals," Seruvakula stated. "They are aware of what’s at stake. It’s good to have that challenge because it’s not the first time the Flying Fijians are playing away from home. These players are professionals; they play in Europe and some with the Drua so it’s nothing new, the players are getting used to it."

The team is optimistic about starting their campaign on a high note. Fiji has a history of success against Wales, having defeated them in their last encounter in 2024. The match is scheduled to take place tomorrow at 1:10 AM, and fans can watch it live on FBC Sports.

Looking ahead, Seruvakula expressed a desire for Fiji to host its own Nations Championship group games in the future, indicating a long-term vision for developing rugby within the country.
