THE FIJI Water Flying Fijians are set to face Wales in the second Test of their Autumn Internationals and aim to redeem themselves following a 17-57 defeat by Scotland last weekend.

The Mick-Byrne coached side is preparing intently for the clash, which sees them meet the Welsh once more following their September 2023 outing at the Rugby World Cup in France, where the Welsh defeated Fiji 32-26.

Isaiah Armstrong-Ravula and Mesake Vocevoce expressed their eagerness for the match and are more than adamant to face their opponents.

Both players spoke of preparations flowing smoothly in camp. The match kicks off 1.40am on Monday.
