THE Flying Fijians assistant coach Senirusi Seruvakula has witnessed a bond within the players that could determine a positive outcome on their historical match against the Barbarians at Twickenham Stadium on Sunday morning.

Despite the short period of preparation as a team and the numerous debutants gunning to stamp their first international Test match for Fiji, the Drua coach pictures the Flying Fijians as a loose cannon once they enter the field of play at Twickenham.

“I believe the two weeks is enough for us, it’s just a matter of consistency and concentration on the Saturday but the thing we really need is confidence and if these guys are confidence they can do anything on that day,” said Seruvakula.

The Flying Fijians are aware of the fast paced rugby the Barbarians will deliver, however, they have their own rugby style to display on Sunday.

Nippy halfback Frank Lomani said they’re ready to take on whatever comes their way but it would be on their own terms.

“We know what they’re capable of and the pace they’ll deliver but we also have our own way of rugby to play and we will give them a good run as well,” said Lomani.

Meanwhile, Seruvakula called on Fijian supporters to come and support their team and witness Fijian flair at its best on Sunday morning.

“Come out in numbers and support your team and see the Fijian style of rugby and hope everything goes well and we get the win on Saturday (Sunday),” he said.

The Flying Fijians will play the Barbarians at 3.30am Sunday.
