Vodafone Flying Fijians Bath-bound scrum half, Nikola Matawalu has been overlooked during the selection of the team to play against Wales, this Friday.

The 26 year-old had sustained an injury in the match against Australia.

Coach, John McKee does not want to take the risk and believes replacement, Nemia Kenatale will perform up to par.

“Playing at this level, we need players who are hundred percent and Nemani retains that position in the second half performance in the match against Australia where he distributed the ball very well.”

Wales will host the Flying Fijians at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff at 3:45am tomorrow and you can watch it live on FBC TV.
