Ahead of the test match against Spain this Sunday, Vodafone Flying Fijians Coach Gareth Baber says they need to play to their strengths, and the strength of the side lies in physical ball carriers.

Baber says we need big men who could win lineouts and create pressure for the opposition.

He says the big bodies are also important when they are defending and has singled out the likes of Leone Nakarawa, Albert Tuisue, Sam Matavesi and Mesulame Dolokoto who they will be relying on.

Baber says they also have players who understand international pressure and it is good to have that in their armoury.

Fiji will play Spain at 3am Sunday.
