The Vodafone Flying Fijians will not underestimate the Italy side when they clash at Suva’s ANZ Stadium this weekend.

Coach John McKee says Italy is likely to be a tough opponent to beat as they are also preparing for the World Cup qualifiers.

“When you look at the rankings and you look at the recent performances, you would think that Italy could be a weaker opposition but I don’t like to say that.”

McKee says they will concentrate on playing their game and rectify areas of their game that they did not execute well last weekend against the Wallabies.

Fiji will host Italy at 2.30pm at Suva’s ANZ Stadium.
