Fiji Airways Men’s National 15s flanker Dominiko Waqaniburotu is looking forward to a brutal encounter against Tonga at Churchill Park this weekend.

The 32-year-old is also hoping to make his 40th test cap on Saturday since making his debut against Australia in 2010.

Waqaniburotu was instrumental against Georgia last week as he made some steal and crucial tackle to force the knock-on and turnover from the visitors.

Meanwhile coach John McKee has indicated that there will be some new faces in this weeks side to face Tonga.

Three players who are likely to earn their place in the starting spot this week are Peni Ravai, Timoci Nagusa and Frank Lomani.

The Flying Fijians will be naming their final team tomorrow.

They will take on Tonga at 3pm Saturday at Churchill Park in Lautoka and you can catch the live commentary on VitiFM.

In other test matches on Saturday, the All Blacks will host France at 7.35pm, Japan will take on Georgia at 5.45pm while the Wallabies will play Ireland in a decider on 10pm.

On Sunday, South Africa will take on England at 3.05am, Argentina against Scotland at 4.40am while Canada will take on USA at 7.30am.
