Nadi's Viliame Veikoso has been given the tough task of leading the young Fiji Warriors side to take on the NSW Waratahs later this evening.

Veikoso will be assisted by Naitasiri's Josefa Satini and coach Ifereimi Tawake said the duo have been chosen as they have come through age grade rugby, the provincial competition, the Pacific Rugby Cup and have also played in the Pacific Nations Cup.

Tawake added the boys will be playing against some of the biggest names in Super 14 rugby, and will definitely be a good opportunity for the local players to gain much needed exposure, and may see a few force their way into the selection frame for a Flying Fijian jersey.

The Fiji Warriors/NSW Waratahs game kicks off at 8:40pm tonight at the Energy Australia Stadium.
