Rugby: Rasila gets Fiji captaincy

Veteran front rower Isaia Rasila will captain Fiji on their two-match rugby tour of Australia, starting on Sunday against the Brumbies.

Rasila, 34, has played 30 tests. His appointment follows the news that former skipper Greg Smith will recuperate from a calf injury in New Zealand and will play no part in the two-match tour that ends on June 29 with a game against the Queensland Reds.
