Flying Fijians at home will be tough – Colin Cooper

Maori All Blacks coach Colin Cooper has said that travelling to Suva and facing Fiji on their own turf will be a major test.

The Maori All Blacks have won their last 18 matches going into Saturday’s international test, as the Flying Fijians begin their preparations for this year’s Rugby World Cup.

An exciting 27-man squad features 10 new players with Cooper, after his ITM Cup success with Taranaki, prepared for some different challenges in terms of the team’s travel.

He said that it is really about winning against Fiji.

Meanwhile, the team will be arriving at the Nadi Airport at 12.45pm tomorrow.

The Vodafone Flying Fijians will host the Maori All Blacks at 3pm this Saturday at the ANZ Stadium and you can catch the live commentary on our sister station Viti FM.
