The Fiji Warriors have got off to a rocky start in their bid for an unprecedented six straight Pacific Rugby Cup title, beaten 22-19 by the Queensland Reds A team in Brisbane on Sunday.
The Warriors trailed 5-0 at halftime and took the lead shortly after the break before conceding two more tries and a yellow card to end their hopes of a comeback.
The Fijians next match is against the Force A team in a week's time while Samoa and Tonga's A teams go head to head tomorrow night in Sydney.
