FIJI Water Flying Fijians head coach Mick Byrne is determined to win all three of their Autumn Nations Series matches against England, France and Spain this month.

Byrne did not mince his words, assuring fans of a great performance beginning with England on Sunday at the Allianz Stadium in Twickenham.

“Obviously you’re expecting a great performance. We want to perform, and we want to win the three Test matches. We’re going up there to win three Test matches,” Byrne said.

Meanwhile, the series will be an opportunity for a few younger players to make a name for themselves during the three tests such as Joji Nasova and Kitione Salawa.

“It’s a great opportunity for Kiti to come back in. Joji Nasova, he showed a lot of promise in PNC.”

“We just feel that, you know, Kiti’s a player that we feel has got another lot of growth in him. And we saw him turn a corner in PNC around what’s required at this level.

“And we’d like, you know, we know that he can perform and we’re going to give him another opportunity to come in and take another step in his development.”
