Flying Fijians Head Coach, Vern Cotter is impressed with Sireli Maqala’s skills and game awareness during their preparations for the Autumn Nations Series.

Cotter says that Maqala provides a backup as well for flyhalf.

Maqala is expected to make his debut for the Flying Fijians while Cotter has confirmed that Waisea Nayacalevu will again captain the side.

Ben Volavola has also been re-called into the squad after Teti Tela lost his passport in France and is expected to join the team later this week in Scotland.

The Flying Fijians will face Scotland at 12am Sunday.
