France based Seremaia Bai will be the number 1 choice goal kicker for the Flying Fijians in the opening Test against Scotland on Sunday morning.
Bai has been given the role to relieve the pressure from first five eight Nicky Little who is returning to the Fiji team since injuring his knee in the 2007 World Cup pool game against Wales.
Head coach Glen Ella is relying on the experienced forward pack to provide the platform for the fast backline to showcase their speed against Scotland.
With Wales based prop Deacon Manu in charge at tight head prop, it gives Fiji a chance to match the hosts upfront.

Meanwhile, 5 new caps are likely to make their debut on Sunday.
Wales based Deacon Manu, Nadi hooker Viliame Veikoso, Nadroga number 8 Asaeli Boko, winger Napolioni Nalaga and either Jonetani Ratu or Josh Matavesi will for the first time, don the national jumper on Sunday.
Fiji will take on Scotland on Sunday at 2.30am |
