November 24, 2018 5:03 pm

The Fiji Airways Flying Fijians rugby team is expecting a hard-fought battle against France in its last test match this morning in Paris.

Fiji has never beaten France in nine tests.

Coach John McKee says after one loss and one win on the northern hemisphere, they are coming to provide a good encounter against French side.

“The Fijian boys have proven to hold their own in the set pieces yet against Scotland Fiji’s defences were torn into shreds and we could not hold the ball long enough to string phases together. We regrouped and we managed to beat Uruguay and we’re now focusing on our game against France.”

McKee had only been in charge for six months when they last met in 2014 and have come a long way since losing 40 -15.

Fiji plays France at 9am today.
