“After the game, we sat as coaches and we went through the video of the game and there are few areas we need to work on before taking on the women’s Waratahs side.”

The Fijiana 15s is one step away from securing their second win and Doviverata says the supporters will play a big role in their overall performance on the field.

He adds the players were motivated by the support in their clash against the Reds and are hoping they will get the same cheers atonight.

The Fijiana XV will battle the New South Wales Waratahs tonight at 7.30pm in Sydney.
