RWC 2023 Tickets: Fiji insider's Rugby World Cup warning for Wales and Australia ahead of 2023

With the establishment of the Fiji Drua Super Rugby franchise and the return from the injury of Semi Radradra and Levani Botia, acting head coach Gareth Baber has warned World Cup opponents Wales and Australia that Fiji will be even more dangerous at the RWC 2023 event in France.

Radradra, the brilliant Bristol Centre, and La Rochelle's "Demolition Man" Botia were absent from Fiji's 38-23 defeat by Wales in Cardiff last weekend when a European-based squad coached by Baber – who was filling in for head coach Vern Cotter, who was in New Zealand – came close to upsetting the odds.

In the loss to Wales, winger Eroni Sau was sent off, and flankers Albert Tuisue and Eroni Mawi received yellow cards, reducing Fiji to 14 men for three-quarters of the game and needing to play with just 13 for the final 20 minutes.

Fiji is in Pool C at the Rugby World Cup 2023, alongside Wales and Australia, as well as the winner of the Europe 1 qualifier and the final qualifier, and Baber, who is coaching Fiji alongside Ireland's Rory Best and the Scottish duo of Richie Gray and Duncan Hodge, believes the Fijian Drua franchise will provide Cotter with even more talent to use in France.

"I am quite enthused about what Fiji could do at the Rugby World Cup 2023," Baber told Rugby pass. I've seen what Fiji can accomplish with the correct mindset and clarity of purpose, as long as they stick to the standards they set. It makes them a formidable team. Aside from the European players that will return, the Drua team will be there, which means you will witness a squad of Fijian players who have had Super Rugby experience.

I am confident that a good group of Flying Fijian players will emerge from the Drua squad, which is particularly exciting because this is the first time players have operated together every week. Vern and the coaches will greatly benefit from it. The goal against Georgia is for this current group to take another step forward in terms of demonstrating what they are capable of at the Rugby World Cup.

Fijian players learn quickly, and while some may argue that you should just let them perform naturally, this undermines their learning abilities. "Mentally, it is easier to get up for a game against a Top 10 team in their city," Baber said, adding that his squad now faces an even greater physical battle with Georgia, who caused France problems last weekend.

We're playing Georgia in Madrid, and it'll be interesting to see how we prepare psychologically and physically after such a short week, which includes travel. The situation is comparable to what Fiji might face in the Rugby World Cup 2023.
