Concerned over lack of possession and territory for Flying Fijians

The Fiji Airways Flying Fijians only managed to secure 18 percent of possession in their 54-17 loss to Scotland, described by many rugby fans as one of our worst ever performance.

The Flying Fijians tried as much as they could to maintain dominance, however the demolishing force from the Scottish kept Fiji at only 20 percent territory while Scotland managed to pull 80 percent.

Ahead of this weekend’s game, the Flying Fijians are also faced with another challenge, having Semi Radradra highly likely to face a ban for a high tackle on Sofiane Guitoune which took place in the first half of Bordeaux’s 40-0 Top 14 thrashing at the hands of Toulouse a weeks ago.

Semi Radradra has not been suspended while waiting for his hearing.

Radradra has been summoned before the Disciplinary and Rules Committee at its meeting this Wednesday.

Radradra and Viliame Mata scored Fiji’s try in their game against Scotland.

The Fiji Airways Flying Fijians will take on Uruguay this Sunday at Gloucester, Fiji will then play their last game is against France on the 25th of this month.
