Midfield combination of Nayacalevu and Botitu gives more options - Cotter

Vodafone Flying Fijians coach Vern Cotter says the midfield combination of captain Waisea Nayacalevu and Vilimoni Botitu is important as it gives him options going into future tests and the Rugby World Cup next year.

Nayacalevu will start at centre tomorrow after missing out last week due to a slight shoulder injury.

Cotter adds it’s nice to have an older head with a youngster in the midfield.

Fiji will take on Samoa at 3.30pm tomorrow at Churchill Park.

Tonga will take on Australia A at 12pm.
