Fiji Airways Flying Fijians centre Semi Radradra says he was surprised when coach Vern Cotter told him to lead the team in the Autumn Nations Cup.

Speaking to Midi Olympique, Radradra says it is an honour and a privilege to be named as captain as he only has ten caps with the Flying Fijians.

The 28-year-old also recalled their win over France 2 years ago stating that it was special for him but those times are things of the past and it showed that Fiji can beat tier one nations.

Fiji will meet France at 3.15 am Monday in their first Autumn Nations Cup match.
