McKee to shift Talebula at fullback

November 13, 2018 3:03 am

Fiji Airways Flying Fijians coach John McKee says he is likely to shift Metuisela Talebula to the full-back position after Setariki Tuicuvu was ruled out due to an injury in his foot.

McKee named Talebula on the wings in the game against Scotland but says he is the only specialized full back in the team.

“Metuisela Talebula is obviously took over the full-back position when Seta Tuicuvu was injured in the game. He has played full-back for us before. At the moment he is the logical player that can take over that spot in the team currently. We will be looking at the other players during the selection tomorrow and see what combinations we can build.”
