Flying Fijians Head Coach John McKee says a lot needs to be done by the team ahead of this weekend’s second match against the Maori All Blacks.

After producing history last week, the Flying Fijians are aware that the New Zealand side will come out stronger this weekend.

McKee says players know what’s needed of them and the next few days of preparation are crucial.

“We know we have got to do a lot of work, on the field, on the training track, in the gym, around the team environment, to make sure that we are the best that we can be.”

Meanwhile, the Flying Fijians were hosted to the traditions of the Maori’s in New Zealand.

Captain Dominiko Waqaniburotu says it’s important for players to accustom themselves to the environment.

“Big game for us, which is going to help us because we have to prepare to play them last week and playing them last week just shows us where we are at the moment and where we need to move on”.

The Flying Fijians take on the Maori All Blacks on Saturday in Rotorua.
