EXPECT a big game from France-based Semi Radradra if he runs out for the Fiji Airways Flying Fijians against former Rugby World Cup champions Australia at the Sapporo Dome in Japan on Saturday.

The former NRL star could be a key figure in the Fiji team’s game plan with his powerful runs, to spearhead their attacks in the match.

During a training session at Abashiri, Radradra featured prominently in attack and was helping teammates in working out ways to break the tough Wallabies’ back line.

Radradra is expected to face a crack Australia back line which is most likely to feature Fijians Tevita Kuridrani, Samu Kerevi and Marika Koroibete.

Both teams will move to Sapporo tomorrow before the clash on Saturday. Fiji coach John McKee will name his game day squad today.
