New players to impress McKee in 2nd game against Maori All Blacks
Flying Fijians against Maori All Blacks during Saturday's match

The 11 new players that have been included in the 26 member squad to face the Maori All Blacks this weekend will have a chance to impress selectors ahead of the Rugby World Cup.

Fiji Airways Flying Fijians coach, John McKee says that every player in the team is vying for a spot for the World Cup and these players have the opportunity to show what they can do in the field.

McKee says he will be trying out new combinations in this game where he will give the opportunity to other players to step up.

He adds they will be expecting a tough match against the Maori All Blacks this weekend where they will be trying to avenge their 27-10 loss on last Saturday.

Some of the new players that are travelling with the 26 member extended squad include Leeroy Atalifo, Tuvere Vugakoto, Tevita Ratuva, Johnny Dyer and Josh Matavesi.

Some players that have not been included are Ben Volavola, Josua Tuisova, Viliame Mata, Leone Nakarawa and Levani Botia.

Fiji plays the Maori All Blacks at Rotorua International Stadium in New Zealand at 7.35pm Saturday.
