The Fiji Water Flying Fijians went down 17-34 to France in a Rugby World Cup build-up test in Nantes, France yesterday.

The Semi Radradra captained side scored a try in the first spell through hooker Tevita Ikanivere while flyhalf Caleb Muntz added a conversion and penalty as Fiji trailed 21-10 at the break.

Radradra scored Fiji’s lone try of the second spell as the French got points on the board through a try and a couple of penalties after the break.

“It was a tough battle out there for our team.

We knew they would come out strong. We made a few mistakes which put the home side on the front foot,” Radradra said after the match.

Fiji will now play England this Sunday before the Rugby World Cup opener against Wales on September 11.
