Eroni Sau to make debut for Flying Fijians against Uruguay

Eroni Sau will be making his debut on the wing for the Fiji Airways Flying Fijians this weekend against Uruguay while Josua Tuisova will be on the other wing for the team.

Fiji Airways Drua player Albert Tuisue will also make his debut for the team.

Coach John McKee says that defence & discipline will be a focus for this match as Uruguay will look to test them through the driving maul, so effective maul defence without conceding penalties will be vital.

McKee says the short team preparation time for the November Tour is very challenging and he can see from the extra week they have had together, the player’s clarity around their role in their game plan has improved and those vital playing combinations across the team are building well.

Some other top players that are included in the starting line-up are Semi Kunatani, Leone Nakarawa, captain Dominiko Waqaniburotu, Ben Volavola, Jale Vatubua, Vereniki Goneva and Metuisela Talebula.

Semi Radradra has not been included in the match day squad as his return to the camp was delayed due to a French Judicial Hearing.

Radradra was cleared of all charges.

Fiji will play Uruguay at 2am Sunday in England.
