Expect some big names to be announced in the Flying Fijians starting lineup against Scotland this weekend.

Fresh from their famous victory over the Wallabies last Saturday, the Scottish are the favorites to win this match but Fiji’s coach John McKee is yet to deploy some of his heavy artillery into his team.

With Rugby World Cup Qualifier being the main focus for McKee, he is expected to assemble his best side against Scotland which could see big names like Clermont enforcer Peceli Yato, La Rochelle’s flanker and centre Levani Botia, Toulon’s winger Josua Tuisova and Highlanders winger Patrick Orsborne having a taste of June tests this week.

McKee says he might rest some of the players to allow some players get their game time but this will be determined after they sort out their best combination.

Fiji has met Scotland six times and has only won once which was back in 1998 at the ANZ Stadium.

The Vodafone Flying Fijians will host Scotland at 2.30pm Saturday at the ANZ Stadium and you can catch the live commentary of this game on our sister station Viti FM.
