More Time: Cotter
The Flying Fijians are developing a better performance culture as they gear toward next year’s Rugby World Cup in France.
This was revealed yesterday to SUNsports by Flying Fijians head coach, Vern Cotter, after a review of their recent Europe tour.
Speaking from London, Cotter said this would involve the blending together of the experienced Europe-based players and the talented Fijian Drua reps.
“We need to increase our time together to build a strong culture,” he said.
He highlighted there were many positives despite the Flying Fijians losing 12-28 to Scotland and 17-35 to Ireland before they walloped the French Barbarians 46-14 in their final match on tour.
Cotter said one of the positives was the centre combination of Waisea Nayacalevu and Kalaveti Ravouvou.
“New players were put in new positions, like (Vilimoni) Botitu at 10 and (Sireli) Maqala at 15 against good teams.
