Vodafone Flying Fijians Coach John McKee says Ben Volavola played his best game for Fiji today at flyhalf.

Fiji defeated Japan 38‑25 in its final Europe Rugby Test in Western France this morning and according to McKee, Volavola controlled the game really well where he mixed the running game with the kicking game.

He adds Levani Botia at inside centre and Albert Vulivuli at outside was just the right combination and both played exceptionally well with Volavola.

McKee says there was also much improved performance from the forward pack.

Fiji scored five tries in the game with Botia scoring two tries.

Fiji’s other tries came from Albert Vulivuli, Metuisela Talebula and Nemani Nadolo.
