The Vodafone Flying Fijians kick off their 2015 Pacific Nations Cup campaign against Tonga today.

With coach John McKee making 8 changes to the side that lost the Maori All Blacks a week ago, the mentor says the players elected for today’s match will surely step up to face the challenge.

“It’s been an easy transition for them. Right through from the first camp we have worked at rotating all our players so we got all our combinations and everyone just slotted in this week and these players are just looking forward to the opportunity and are ready to step up to the mark.”
