Flying Fijian coach Samu Domoni Jnr is eyeing France based Rupeni Caucau as his number one choice in the number 12 jumper to take on Wallabies Matt Giteau for Saturday's one off Test match.
Giteau who is now being eyed by Wallabies coach Robbie Deans to partner Quade Cooper in the long run is not a stranger to the Fiji team as he holds the highest points scored by an individual Australian player.
Deans is also hoping that he can combine well with Cooper for the long run into next year's World Cup in New Zealand which has forced the Fiji team to play Caucau at the inside centre.
Meanwhile Flying Fijians Coach Samu Domoni Jnr said that Caucau who is regarded as the most dangerous attacking player in the world will test the Wallabies back line throughout Saturday night.
The Fiji run on team will be named later this week but Domoni has confirmed that the Bua man is his answer to what the Wallabies back line will offer.
The Fiji and Wallabies test match will kick-off on Saturday at 9.40pm.
