Flying Fijians co-captain Kele Leawere knows the importance of winning their opening game against Tonga on Saturday in the Pacific Nations Cup campaign this year.

For the past 3 years, the national 15s side has failed to win against the Ikale Tahi.

After Tabua named the Japan based player with Seru Rabeni as co-captain, the Galoa man believes they have the players who can deliver the results on Saturday.

Leawere said the Tongan outfit will be a tough unit especially with the presence of their King but it will not stop them from trying to start their PNC season with a win.

Fiji will take on Tonga in Nuku'alofa on Saturday at 12pm.
