We are looking to build on whatever we have built since we started camping and we are looking to get our combinations right before the Rugby World Cup.

These were the words of Fiji Water Flying Fijians head coach Simon Raiwalui as the team looks forward to their first Rugby World Cup warm-up match against France tomorrow morning.

Raiwalui says this game against France will be a good test for them as the French team has been doing really well and they are looking forward to the challenge.

Captain for tomorrow’s match Semi Radradra says playing against France will be physical as they have been dominating on the world stage for the past few years.

Radradra says the boys will need to stick to their game plan and execute everything right.

He says the French team will be looking to come back and avenge their 21-14 loss to the Flying Fijians back in 2018 in front of their crowd and will be looking to come back stronger tomorrow.

The Flying Fijians will take on France at 7.05am tomorrow in Nantes.
