Byrne also highlighted Botitu’s strong game-reading abilities, emphasizing his importance to the team’s strategy.

“I feel that he read the game well against the Barbarians but he is back with us. There’s a couple of changes made as well. Other than that we have a strong side against Georgia”.

This game is expected to be a great test as our national team prepares to face one of rugby’s strongest sides.

The Flying Fijians are set to face the All Blacks this Saturday at 2.30pm in San Diego.
