Fiji Airways Flying Fijian coach John McKee stressed their main challenge today is to match the Maori All Blacks in the full 80 minutes of the game.

McKee says he knows most of their players have just came out of Super Rugby which makes them match fit for this game.

He also stated that they look a bit messy at sometimes and this can help us in completing our combination during the game.

He adds the Maori All Blacks will also be like them trying to put their combination together because it is always difficult in the first game.

The Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama also handed the players their rugby jersey’s last night at the Grand Pacific Hotel and this will also be the first time for brother’s Josua Tuisova and Filipo Nakosi to play together.

Fiji will play the Maori All Blacks at 3pm today at the ANZ Stadium and you can catch the live commentary of this game on Viti FM.
