Flying Fijians coach John McKee says a lot of emotional energy went to their Rugby World Cup match against Australia.

He says the team needs to now bounce back from the Rugby World Cup and focus on the Barbarians game.

McKee says the Rugby World Cup is now behind us and we are now looking forward.

“The Barbarians are interesting for us, for the Flying Fijians to go up to London. Professional players are not available, the European players have gone back to their clubs. They are not available for this game as it’s not a release period under the international rules. So we have got a strong group of Fijian based players, from the Drua but also some of the Flying Fijians who were in the World Cup from Fiji as well.”

The Flying Fijians depart for London tomorrow.
