Technically, the team needs to know that they are going as a team. Logistics of getting Fiji to Samoa is one of the things that they need to know about, BUT more importantly we would like them to have an overview of where they’re up to, what they intend to do between now and Samoa, and what they are going to do when we get to Samoa.”
