Fiji Airways Flying Fijians, debutant, Semi Radradra will join the likes of Noa Nadruku, Pauliasi Tabulutu, Alivereti Dere, Etuate Waqa and Filimoni Seru who have represented Fiji in rugby league, sevens and fifteens.

Radradra says it is a dream come true for him to finally wear the national 15's jumper.

He made headlines in Australia in the NRL competition and went on to play for the Fiji Bati and the Australian Kangaroos and just recently helped the Fiji 7s team win the London 7s this month.

The 26-year-old from Somosomo, Taveuni says he will not look any further than the game tomorrow and is excited to meet some of his Toulon team mates in the Georgian side.

He will link up with Jale Vatubua in the midfield.

Meanwhile, young hooker Ratu Vere Vugakoto will be making his first start after coming off the bench last week.

Head coach John McKee has made a few changes to his side with Nemani Nadolo starting on the wing while Timoci Nagusa will come off the bench.

The PNC winner will be crowned tomorrow and the title will be given to the team with the most number of competition points.

As of now, the Flying Fijians are leading with 5 points from their bonus point victory over Samoa last week, Georgia is in second place with 4 points while Tonga and Samoa have 1 point each from their losses last weekend.

World Rugby has only set up two fixtures which sees Georgia vs Tonga and Fiji against Samoa last weekend and this week will see Samoa taking on Tonga while Fiji will play Georgia.

The game against Tonga next Saturday at Churchill Park is not part of the PNC but is regarded as a test match.

The Flying Fijians will take on Georgia at 3.30pm tomorrow at the ANZ Stadium and you can catch the live commentary on our sister station Viti FM.
