THE Fiji rugby under-18 are focused on improving their game structure before they play their first friendly match next week in Wellington, New Zealand.

This was revealed by team head coach Noca Baleitoga yesterday at Bidesi ground in Suva.

Baleitoga said they had been working on their set pieces and how they could execute them during the competition.

“We are trying to put together our game structure in the next few weeks and it’s vital that we need to fix it before we depart Fiji.

“We have conducted two training sessions today and we have seen that we need a lot of practise on our defence and our ruck areas.

“We thank some Fiji reps who have helped the boys today on their set pieces which is a big boost for the team.”

The team will leave Fiji next Wednesday.
