Baptism of fire for Botitu

Fiji Water Flying Fijians' flyhalf Vilimoni Botitu will head out onto the field on Monday in their Rugby World Cup quarter final against England with huge tasks at hand.

Botitu who was called in to replace injured star flyhalf Caleb Muntz before the tournament kicked off last month, will make his second start in the number 10 jersey and is given the role of guiding the team around the park against a determined England side.

The utility backline will also be faced with a huge challenge as he faces off against one the world's top flyhalf Owen Farrell, who will start for England.

Farrell sat out in England's historic 30-22 loss to the Flying Fijians at Twickenham in August, and has now been given the opportunity to make things right for his side when he leads them out on Monday.

Botitu, with not much experience in the flyhalf position at international level will want to set the record straight this week after the Flying Fijians' 24-23 loss to Portugal last week.

The 25-year-old was highly praised by coach Simon Raiwalui last week for his performance in his first RWC start last week, and this week, he will want to take his performance to another level.

The Flying Fijians will take on England at 3am in Marseille.

In other RWC quarter finals, Wales will play Argentina at 3am tomorrow, Ireland will take on the All Blacks at 7am tomorrow and France will play the Springboks at 7am Monday.
