FIJI Water Flying Fijians fly-half Caleb Muntz says he is relishing the chance to unleash his star-studded backline against France in Bordeaux.

Muntz will have Josua Tuisova, Kalaveti Ravouvou and Jiuta Wainiqolo in the backline with him.

Muntz says with all the weapons they have in the backline, it's very important that he is the one just to unleash them.

He says he does need to do too much, which is kind of a blessing for him and he does not have to be relying on making any game-changing plays.

Muntz will be facing French fly-half Romain Ntamack, who has been a consistent part of Fabien Galthie's set-up since the former scrum-half took over in December 2019.

He says Ntamack has been a world-class player for a long time now.

The number 10 adds in terms of French 10s, he believes especially Romain and a few of the others, including Matthieu Jalibert are world-class players

The Flying Fijians play France at 8.10am in Bordeaux tomorrow.
