Former Vodafone Flying Fijians skipper Mosese Rauluni is impressed with the level of commitment shown by the players.

Rauluni who will always be remembered for leading Fiji to the quarter finals of the 2007 Rugby World Cup said the players have stepped up as they prepare to take on Italy.

Rauluni who is the defence coach for Fiji says it’s tough when he is coaching some players he played with.

Captain Akapusi Qera, Wame Lewaravu, Sunia Koto and Sireli Bobo are some players he played with during the 2007 World Cup.

Meanwhile Chiefs winger Asaeli Tikoirotuma has joined the camp yesterday.

Tikoirotuma has also confirmed that he will be joining the English club Harlequins side at the end of the Super Rugby season where he will be earning $700,000 Fijians dollars a year.

Italy will take on the Flying Fijians at 3pm this Saturday at the ANZ Stadium and you can catch the live commentary on our sister station Viti FM.
