The FIJI Water Flying Fijians will review their game against Manu Samoa before they set their game plan for the final Punjas Pacific Battle clash against Japan.

This was the gist of captain Semi Radradra’s interview after the Flying Fijians 33-19 win over Manu Samoa in Apia, last Saturday.

“We’ve learned a lot from the Samoa game,” he said.

Radradra said it was a privilege for them to play alongside the Fijian Drua players where five of them were making their Test debut. Scoring a try on his Test debut for the Drua was centre Iosefo Masi after he ran into a pass by Radradra early in the first half.

However, Radradra indicated that it was a tough game after they allowed the Samoans to make a comeback in the second half.

The Fijians were leading 30-5 at halftime and managed to get three points in the second half from the boots of Caleb Muntz.

This was similar to their opening match against Tonga, as the Flying Fijians lead 29-15 at halftime before they scored a converted try in the second half.

Meanwhile, a disappointed Manu Samoa captain and No.8 Fritz Lee said they didn’t start well and tried their best to make a comeback in the second half.

“It was unfortunate but we’ve learned from it. That is what we need a lot of learning, which is positive as we move forward to the Rugby World Cup,” he added.
