The presence of World number 1 referee Jonathan Kaplan to control the last Pacific Nations Cup match between the Flying Fijians and Japan will be a great boost to the players.

Coach Ilivasi Tabua said it is good to have Kaplan controlling the game in Fiji.

Tabua said the South African based referee communicates a lot with the players during the game like in the ruck and maul situation where a lot of penalties been committed.
