Fiji Airways Flying Fijians coach John McKee has praised Peceli Yato ahead of their test match against Scotland tomorrow morning.

McKee says they should watch out for Yato who is comfortable across the back-row and can even step into the second row if required.

He says Yato is a powerful runner who has a deceptive turn of pace for a big man and a great offloader while he is also dangerous over the ball at the ruck.

He adds Yato will be well known to the Scots who play in France and is a team-mate of Gregor Laidlaw’s at Clermont Auvergne.

The Flying Fijians face Scotland at 3.30am tomorrow.
