Fiji Water Flying Fijians Set for Semi-Final Clash Against USA in Asahi Super Dry Pacific Nations Cup

The FIJI Water Flying Fijians are gearing up for an exciting Semi-Final showdown against the USA in the Asahi Super Dry Pacific Nations Cup this Saturday. The match which is scheduled for 10.05pm Fiji time, will be held at the Chichibu Memorial Stadium in Tokyo Japan.

The Flying Fijians, who emerged as Pool A leaders, will face the USA, runners-up from Pool B. Japan topped Pool B and will compete against Samoa in the second semi-final the following day, September 15th, at 6:05 PM Fiji Time at the same venue.

The Flying Fijians returned to Nadi over the weekend following their impressive victory against Tonga and resumed training today. Despite no reports of any major injuries in camp, the team will be without centre Adrea Cocagi, who has been ruled out of the next four games due to a red card received in the Tonga match.

Coach Mick Byrne expressed his confidence in the team’s potential, stating after the match in Nuku’alofa: “I don’t know whether there’s a ceiling (referring to growth) in this squad as they’re a very talented team.”

Meanwhile, Tonga and Canada will battle for fifth place on September 14th at 7:00 PM Fiji Time, also at Prince Chichibu Memorial Stadium.
