“I am very pleased to name this group of players for the Vodafone Flying Fijians first assembly in preparation for RWC 2015”.
“This is a very talented group of players and the competition for selection will be intense”.
He added that this first assembly will mainly focus on fitness testing and the introduction of the Flying Fijian Game Principles in the lead up to the NZ Maori match.
“The Game plan will build on the June and November 2014 style of play and reflect on the unique Fijian Team profile of players and at the same time recognising the requirements for a successful performance in the intense nature of International Test Match Rugby”’
