Stade Francais winger Peniasi Dakuwqa joined the Flying Fijians in Dublin yesterday. The Fiji Rugby Union confirmed that the 27-year-old is Semi Radradra’s replacement. Radradra has been ruled out of the November Tour following his red card against Wales.
The FIJI Water Flying Fijians will take on Ireland at 3:10am on Sunday at Aviva Stadium, Dublin. Meanwhile, Ireland head coach Andy Farrell is weighing his options on his team selection against Fiji. He told Irish Mirror that it was not as simple as giving youth a fling.
“We’ll see how the bodies fare up, but we do need to have a think about how we roll on because Fiji is unbelievably dangerous,” he said. “At the same time, so are Australia. Four games on the bounce, we’ve got to manage that realistically.
We need to pick a side that’s going to perform – and what you don’t just do is give everyone a game that’s been unfortunate not to play so far. “If you’re trying to work out how lads are going to cope at international level, you need to put good people around them to be able to judge them in the right manner, so there’s a balance there.” Feedback: sereana.
