The Fiji Under-16 team to the Australian Junior Rugby Championship has tagged themselves as the underdogs.

Coach Masi Saqanavere says they will be expecting a tough encounter from rugby giants Australia and New Zealand.

“We had to work within the limited number of players that was given to us which was 26. I am grateful that for the past one month, the players have shown great improvement and we had selected more forwards than the backs.”

Saqanavere also thanked the support from parents and also the Fiji Rugby Union for ensuring the welfare of the players are taking care of.

The team will fly out next Friday to Australia.
