Fiji Airways Flying Fijians Coach, John McKee says he will be trying out new combinations in their second test match against the Maori All Blacks this weekend.

McKee says that they will start training tomorrow and they expect a tough test match.


McKee says that this will give opportunity for other players to step up and show what they can do to secure a spot for Rugby World Cup.

McKee has named his 26 member extended squad for the final test match against the Maori All Blacks where 11 new players who were not part of the historic 27-10 win last weekend was included in this squad.

Some of the players that have missed out are Ben Volavola, Josua Tuisova , Viliame Mata, Leone Nakarawa and Levani Botia.

The Flying Fijians meet the Maori All Blacks at Rotorua International Stadium in New Zealand at 7.35pm Saturday.
