As the Fiji Water Flying Fijians left our shores for their final round of the Punjas Pacific Battle Series clash against Japan in Tokyo, the focus is now on who will don the number 10 jersey this weekend.
With one more match left before coach Simon Raiwalui names his final Rugby World Cup squad, veteran Ben Volavola and Swire Shipping Fijian Drua flyhalf Teti Tela are yet to make an appearance for the Flying Fijians this year, while young Caleb Muntz has been impressive in the past two games in the number 10 jersey.
It is now on Raiwalui to make a decision on whether to rest Muntz for this crucial match and give a chance to Volavola and Tela to have a run this weekend or will he stick to having Muntz at the flyhalf position again this week and have one of the two players covering from the bench.
It will also be the last chance for some players who have not had a run this season for the Flying Fijians to impress the selectors.
The Flying Fijians will take on Japan at 10.15pm in Tokyo.
