It will be really challenging for Vodafone Fiji Bati Coach Brandon Costin to name his two wingers to start against Lebanon this week.

Three of the NRL top wingers have been included in the Bati squad to take on the Cedars from Lebanon.

Maika Sivo of the Eels and Dragons flyer Mikaele Ravalawa along with Melbourne Storm’s Suliasi Vunivalu will battle for the two spots.

Ravalawa and Sivo are two of the top performers this season but Vunivalu can edge them on experience which is vital according to the Bati coach.

Sivo is the current leading try scorer in NRL with 12 tries in 13 games while Ravalawa has 7 in 12 outings and Vunivalu has scored 6 in 12 matches for the Storm.

But Bati coach Brandon Costin says Vunivalu’s experience is important.

The Bati will take on Lebanon at 7:30pm on Saturday.
