Focus on ourselves first: Baber on Fiji Test against Spain

Vodafone Flying Fijians November Tour coach Gareth Baber says the focus against Spain on Sunday is to get the players to perform to their best of their abilities and getting things right, particularly with the match serving as the players first hit out together against a side that has had a chance to play in a competitive setting, the most recent against Italy A over the weekend. Spain lost to the Italian side by two points, the final score being 11-13, but Baber is not dwelling too much on that, insisting the side focuses on what they can do with what they have against the Spaniards and what they know of them, and progressively improve for the other two matches against Wales and Georgia.
