Fiji Airways Flying Fijians coach John McKee says they will be playing a high tempo game against Georgia in the Pacific Nations Cup decider at the ANZ Stadium today.

McKee believes that with the inclusion of Semi Radradra and Nemani Nadolo, the national side is ready for some expensive style of rugby.

Meanwhile the Flying Fijians received three yellow cards last week and McKee says they have been working with the players regarding discipline.

Fiji and Georgia have met twice in the past. The last time they played was at the ANZ Stadium in 2016 where Georgia won 14-3.

Georgian fullback Merab Kvirikashvili who kicked three penalties in their last match while Lasha Khmaladze the lone try scorer in that match will start at flyhalf.

McKee says fly half Ben Volavola has also been working on his kicking game after missing out on a number of kicks last week.

The winner between Fiji and Georgia will be crowned as the PNC champion after World Rugby changed the format this year.

The Flying Fijians will take on Georgia at 3.30pm today at the ANZ Stadium and you can catch the live commentary on our sister station Viti FM.

In the other match, Tonga will take on Samoa at 1pm.
