Fiji Airways Flying Fijians skipper Akapusi Qera says their forwards have gradually improved since the 2007 Rugby World Cup.

Qera says the players are now responding well and have been meeting the expected requirements during the test matches.

“ From 2007 and until now there has been a massive progress in our forward pack, especially in the front row. It is maybe due to the professionalism in the clubs the players go to.”

The Flying Fijians take on Tonga at 3pm at Churchill Park in Lautoka tomorrow.
