For the first time Flying Fijians centre, Sireli Maqala, gets to play at his specialist position at Test level.

This season, he was rated as the French Top 14 best centre and the opportunity has arrived for the 25 year-old to take over from where veterans Waisea Nayacalevu and Semi Radradra have left off.

Flying Fijians head coach Mick Byrne described Maqala as a world class player with dynamic feet.

Partnering Josua Tuisova at centre, Maqala will definitely be our go-to-man in today’s Test clash against Scotland.
