Although our Vodafone Flying Fijians have qualified for the 2019 Rugby World Cup in Japan, they are not going to take it easy against Samoa on Saturday.

Flying Fijians head coach John McKee is on a most important mission- to create a winning culture.

This is paramount for Fijian Rugby in terms of securing sponsorships as every corporate company wants to be associated with a winning brand.

So a win at Apia, could help bring in the much-needed support in terms of revenue and a good ending in the June-July Test matches

So far we’re on the right track, apart from the 37-14 loss to the Wallabies in Melbourne on June 10, the Flying Fijians have hit back with wins over Tier One nations Italy (22-19) and Scotland (27-22). Last Saturday, at Teufaiva Stadium in Nuku’alofa we did it again by beating Tonga 14-10.

McKee has made it clear after the Tonga clash and that’s for them to learn from their mistakes and to be a lot sharper and stronger against the Samoans.
