“They’re going to have their preparation with the new coaching stuff. The younger players coming through and the senior players so it’s something they are going to enjoy when they back in the field preparing for the match against Georgia.” 

The team went into isolation after 29 players were tested positive for COVID-19.

The Flying Fijian is scheduled to face Georgia who is the fourth placed team from Pool A on December 5th.
