There has been an outcry from fans on the performance of the team, and national rep, Alesi Waqa, says it’s up to the team to restore faith.

“After our game on Saturday we just went back and sat down and what we decided is that we need to forget what has happened and pick up ourselves and move on. So that’s what we did today and we worked as a unit and everything just fell into place.”

Fiji takes on Barbados at 2.20pm today.
