The Flying Fijians do not want to spoil the party tonight as we all celebrate 100 years of rugby in Fiji.

Senior players in the team know the job at hand is tough as they will face some of the big names of world rugby including three players who have links to Fiji.

Fullback, Timoci Nagusa said the Fiji 15's forwards and back-line players have worked out strategies to counter Sitiveni Sivivatu, Joe Rokocoko and Rupeni Caucau who are expected to come out firing tonight.


A star studded lineup has been named to face the Classic All Blacks which will be captained by Akapusi Qera.

Seremaia Bai, Sakiusa Matadigo, Napolioni Nalaga and Timoci Nagusa return for Fiji for the centennial celebrations match.

Netani Talei, Sireli Bobo and Nikola Matawalu retain their places in the team after missing out the Pacific Nations Cup trip to Canada.

Jiuta Lutumailagi will start in the number 10 jersey ahead of Seta-reki Koroilagilagi.

Meanwhile British High Commissioner Steven Chandler said it will be a historic day for Fiji today as they celebrate 100 years of rugby.

Chandler said it would be hard to pick who will win.


The Fiji vs Classic All Blacks match kicks off at 6 tonight at the ANZ Stadium and you can catch the live commentary on our sister station, Viti FM.
