Vodafone Flying Fijians coach John McKee has full faith in Eroni Vasiteri and Jale Vatubua to combine well in the midfield against Italy on Saturday.

McKee say it’s a new combination he is trying and expects Vasiteri to shine, who has been in an impressive form during the training.

“Eroni has been excellent through the camp and excellent in the Skipper Cup leading up to the test matches and Eroni deserves to get an opportunity.”
