Flying Fijian 15s rugby new cap Iliesa Keresoni is out to impress national rugby Coach Ilivasi Tabua in his first outing in test rugby level.
Keresoni replaces injured Dan Rawaqa in a position which his older brother Kameli Ratuvou played during the 2007 Rugby World Cup.
The 2006 Lelean Memorial School U19 winning captain was the best local fullback last season and was part of the Fiji Warriors team that won the Pacific Rugby Cup last month.
Today the 23 year old, who is the youngest member of the Fiji team, knows he will have to step up to another level knowing he is up against players who are now playing in the Super 14 competition.
Tabua is also hoping to create history by becoming the first coach in the PNC competition to hand the Junior All Blacks their first ever defeat.
But his counterpart, Colin Cooper has made his intentions clear adding that they have a game plan to counter the Flying Fijians.
The Flying Fijians and Junior All Blacks match will kick off at 3:10pm today.
