Glasgow coaches were full of praise for the Flying Fijian who they has been a wonderful re-acquisition from Exeter Chiefs.

Earlier in the month, Flying Fijians coach John McKee mentioned that he would consider Matawalu for the World Cup in Japan as he will bring depth to the squad as he can play in more than one position in the back-line.
