The inclusion of the veteran players based in the Northern Hemisphere was crucial in the Fiji Water Flying Fijians’ outstanding performance against Wales yesterday which helped them secure a historic 24-19 win in Cardiff.
Coach Mick Byrne says it was evident when the game was on the line, a few of them made some good line breaks, as well as some good solid tackles.
He says Tuisova’s try was just a bulldozing run from a player who backs himself.
He adds the Northern Hemisphere-based players certainly contributed their bit to the game.
Byrne went on to say that he was proud of how the players played as they just wanted to make history.
