Fiji have appointed Bristol Bears powerhouse Semi Radradra as captain for the fast-approaching 2020 Autumn Nations Cup.
In his first interview, with Midi Olympique, since his appointment by head coach Vern Cotter yesterday, Radradra said:
“We will be ready to face anyone. We are lucky to be here to participate in this great competition.
“It has been a long time since Fiji has faced so many prestigious opponents one week after another. We don’t want to let this opportunity pass by, and show everyone that we deserve our place in this tournament.”
“We trained hard and insisted on taking ownership of our game system.We have a new coach, new staff and new players, some of whom are very young who bring new energy.
“We still have a lot of work to do to be competitive, but we will get there.”
