Interim Vodafone Flying Fijians coach Gareth Baber says new captain Waisea Nayacalevu is an experienced player and knows what it means to play in the white jersey.

Baber says the experience he will have around him with the likes of Leone Nakarawa and Sam Matavesi will surely assist him on the field during his first captaincy role.

Flying Fijians Head Coach Vern Cotter is also a firm believer in Nayacalevu’s capability as a captain of the Flying Fijians.

He says the 31-year-old has accepted his role as a leader and he has quality players around him for guidance.

Fiji meets Spain at 3am Sunday.

In other test matches, Japan will face Ireland at 1am Sunday, New Zealand will meet Italy at 1am Sunday and the Wallabies will play Scotland at 2.15am Monday.
