Coach Seruvakula did not mince his words at Nadi.
He said: “We need to work on our mistakes from last week, we have to avoid giving away penalties because the Australian team will punish us. We can’t afford that.
“Now the door is open to us and we got an important match against Queensland this Saturday.
“It’s a learning curve for the boys. We have to be patient with the young guys.”
