Baby Flying Fijians coach Sale Sorovaki is proud the way his boys played against the Baby Blacks in the Junior Ruby World Cup this morning.

Despite going down 33-12, Sorovaki says the highly rated Kiwis did n ot expect the young Fijians to be physical.

He says the focus now is on playing against Samoa.

“I am proud of the boys and the way they played. Before the game, I told them that NZ will be physical and we need to get in their faces, I am happy with the they played and now we can look to play against Samoa.”

Fiji will face Samoa this Sunday for the ninth place play-offs.

Fiji’s failure to win this game would mean they get relegated and play in the 12th place play-offs.
