“It’s been good spending time with these great bunch of boys. I know it’s a very young squad but there’s a lot of talent. I now people doubt us because we have a young squad but we are ready to prove people wrong and make Fiji proud.”

The national side will face New Caledonia in its first match next Saturday at 5pm.

Meanwhile, round five of the Digicel Premier League starts this Sunday.

At the ANZ Stadium, Suva hosts Nasinu at 3pm while Navua meets Tailevu Naitasiri at the Uprising Sports Centre.
