“We have done a lot of hard work on our condition and all our basic skills as well. I think we have seen dramatic improvement in catch-pass work, breakdown work, and that’s what we are focusing on tomorrow as a target as a team to improve in those areas.”

He adds that having the backing of the home crowd will be massive for them and they are looking forward to it, saying the cheers and noise from the fans will provide a major boost for the team.

Fijiana and Wallaroos will clash at 5pm after the Drua versus Reds match at the HFC Bank Stadium in Suva.
