Centre, Apisalome Vota who is highly likely to make his debut for the Vodafone Flying Fijians this Saturday says he will not be intimidated by the big names in the Tongan side.

Vota says he has faced some household names from New Zealand and Australia in the Super Rugby and to go up against players like Malakai Fekitoa and Israel Folau won’t be something new for him.

Tonga has named former All Blacks Augustine Pulu, Charles Piutau and Fekitoa while former Wallaby, Folau is also part of the team.

Fiji will meet Tonga in their first PNC match at 3.30pm Saturday at the ANZ Stadium.

Tickets for the match can be purchased from the Fiji Sports Council from Thursday.

Grandstand tickets are $50 for Platinum and $35 for Gold and $12 for children under-12.

Concrete Embankment tickets are $25 and $5 for children under-12 while grass embankment tickets are $10 and $2 for children under-12.
