The Fiji Water Flying Fijians are looking forward to the challenge that awaits them tomorrow when the side takes on Japan in the final round of the Punjas Pacific Battle Series in Tokyo.

Coach Simon Raiwalui says Japan will be a tough team to beat at home and the team knows what to expect.

Raiwalui says they know Japan is a good team, plays very high tempo of the game and very organized so they are just looking forward to the challenge.

He says the team have had a quick turnaround following their match against Samoa last weekend and as usual, they are still in the preparation phase for Rugby World Cup hence testing and rotating the players at certain positions.

The Flying Fijians will take on Japan at 10.15pm tomorrow.

Flying Fijians starting 15:

Eroni Mawi, Sam Matavesi, Luke Tagi, Albert Tuisue, Temo Mayanavanua, Lekima Tagitagivalu, Kitione Kamikamica, Meli Derenalagi, Simione Kuruvoli, Ben Volavola, Selestino Ravutaumada, Vilimoni Botitu, Waisea Nayacalevu ©, Jiuta Wainiqolo, Sireli Maqala.

Reserves:

Tevita Ikanivere, Peni Ravai, Mesake Doge, Te Ahiwaruy Cirikidaveta, Josevata Tamani, Frank Lomani, Teti Tela, Ilaisa Droasese.
