The team is aware of the strength the Japanese side possesses when it comes to the playing field.

“Obviously yes, our aim is to win this competition and creep up the rankings and you know the rankings will speak for itself after we do the processes. With the processes we will go up the rankings so we have to take one game at a time and be really sharp with everything we do.”

Rauluni adds he has thoroughly studied the opposing team noting their discipline in maintaining fitness and their impressive work rate.

He also acknowledges that 11th-ranked Japan is expected to bring their A-game when they face off in the first test on Friday.

The Fijiana will host Japan at the HFC Bank Stadium in Suva on Friday at 6pm.
