Goal and field kicking is an important aspect of the 15’s game and the Vodafone Flying Fijians is not taking this fact lightly.

Coach John McKee says his side is aware the importance of kicking and is working on it ahead of next month’s World Cup.

“Our kicking game can always be a bit better so it’s a very important part of the game these days. We have got to make sure that there are a number of players across the Park who have got good field kicks for good field position and not just rely on one or two kickers.”
