There are a lot of expectations for hooker Tevita Ikanivere in the upcoming two Tests after being named captain for the Flying Fijians.
He says it’s a privilege to be given the role after Waisea Nayacalevu retired.
Ikanivere says it was an honor to be Nayacalevu’s assistant last year, and he also learned a lot from him during the 2023 Rugby World Cup in France.
The Nukuni, Ono-I-Lau man says he has to lead by example.
“A big position but it comes with big responsibility and it’s a place of action, I thank the coaches for believing in me and appointing me.”
The Flying Fijians meet the Wallabies next Sunday at 3:30 pm in Newcastle, Australia.
They’ll be playing for the Vuvale Bowl.
