Fiji Airways Flying Fijians coach Vern Cotter says next month’s test against the All Blacks is an opportunity for other players to step up and take up Semi Radradra’s place in the team.

Speaking from New Zealand, Cotter says they would have loved to have Radradra with the team but they understand he is with the Fiji 7s team.

He says Radradra is a natural leader, however, the team has other players that have leadership qualities including Levani Botia, Leone Nakarawa, Ben Volavola and Frank Lomani.

The Flying Fijians are out of quarantine and are training within their own bubbles.

They will take on the All Blacks at 7.05pm next Saturday and the 17th of July.
