Coach Senirusi Seruvakula says he had sleep-less nights thinking about the best to choose for the Rugby World Cup.

“It was really hard in selecting the 32 to go to the World Cup so, what we discussed with the other coaches was to select players that can play in two or three positions if injury occurs and we picked the best one and also to be injury free.”

Jade Coates has not been named due to injury but she stands by as a medical cover.

These players are the pioneers of the Fiji women’s team to make it to the World Cup.

Fiji Rugby Chief Executive John O’Connor says it is a historic moment for our country as we farewell the national side to its inaugural World Cup outing.
