Flying Fijians flanker Viliame Mata says their road to the Rugby World Cup begins this Saturday against the Maori All Blacks.

Mata who was part of the team that won against France 21-14 in last years test match stated that the team have been polishing their scrum which has been one of their main area he sees as a weak link in the team.

Mata says he is hopeful their defense line against the Maori All Blacks will be strong and can hold them out.

He hopes people will turn up in numbers to support them which he adds will also be a massive boost to the team.

Coach John  McKee will name his 23 member team on Thursday.

The Fiji Airways Flying Fijians will take on the Maori All Blacks this Saturday at 3pm at the ANZ National Stadium
