“We’ll take this on the chin and move on. In the final third we’re not the best at the moment, we’re not putting away our chances, but this is a learning point for the boys and we’ll improve for the next game.”

Nabenu also sent an apology to their loyal supporters back in Fiji, acknowledging the disappointment but assuring fans the team gave everything on the day and will come back stronger in the next match.
