FIJI Water Flying Fijians head coach Mick Byrne remains confident in the final 32-member squad named for the July Test series, despite a few quality players not being part of the squad.

Around 80 players were under Byrne’s watch throughout the selection process, which was carefully narrowed down to the final group.

Byrne says he and the coaching staff are very excited about the potential of the squad they have named.
