Olympic gold medalists Jiuta Wainiqolo, Aminiasi Tuimaba and Vilimoni Botitu will make their debut for the Vodafone Flying Fijians against Spain on Sunday. The trio have been named in the starting XV while 2016 Olympic gold medalist Masivesi Dakuwaqa and and 20-year-old promising hooker Henry Spring of Stade Francais will earn their first cap off the bench. Following the naming of the team, interim coach Gareth Baber said initially it was challenging getting the players together with a group of coaches but in true Fijian fashion once that decision was made, everybody that’s involved is adding value to what they are doing and getting over the job.
He said it is good to see young players who have been developed through Fiji Rugby’s High-Performance pathways get an opportunity to add game’s value to the team.
