The Fiji Water Flying Fijians are looking forward to this weekend’s test match against a really good French side as they build up to the Rugby World Cup next month.
Head coach Simon Raiwalui says it will be an exciting game as well as most of the players in the squad who play in the Top 14 competition will be playing against some of their teammates this weekend, so there's a connection in there.
Raiwalui says they have had a lot of interest from the public and the boys are very happy and are really integrated.
He says this weekend’s game is huge and France has a bit of an advantage as they will be playing in front of their home crowd.
The Flying Fijians will take on France at 7.05am this Sunday.
They will take on England at 2.15am next Sunday in Twickenham.
The Flying Fijians’ first RWC pool match will be against Wales at 7am Monday 11th September.
