The Fiji Bati team

Vodafone Fiji Bati captain Kevin Naiqama believes many players will want to stamp their mark in the Pacific Test tomorrow as they also fight for a spot in the Rugby League World Cup later this year.

Naiqama says the Bati have come a long way and most of them who are playing in the NRL have showed good dedication to their country.

The Bati will feature a lot of NRL talent with Storm winger Suliasi Vunivalu making his international debut alongside Panthers centre Waqa Blake.

Young quartet Marcelo Montoya, Viliame Kikau, Tui Kamikamica and Sitiveni Moceidreke have all made their NRL debuts this season on the back of international call‑ups for Fiji in 2016.

The Fiji Bati will take on Tonga at 7.30pm tomorrow in Campbelltown.
