The Fiji men's rugby team excited about the future after ending a challenging Northern Hemisphere tour on a winning note.

The Flying Fijians ended a difficult six week tour with a commanding 38-24 victory over Georgia in Edinburgh, with eight players making their test debut and returning veteran Nemani Nadolo bagging a hat-trick, in what proved to be their only match of the tournament following a Covid-19 outbreak within the squad.

Fiji Rugby CEO John O'Connor told Vinnie Wylie it was just reward after a trying period for the players, who spent two week in isolation in their hotel rooms while their first four tour matches were cancelled.
