France based Clermont rugby fullback Setariki Tuicuvu could be one of the newest inclusion in the Vodafone Flying Fijians squad for the mid-year test matches.

The 22-year-old, former Nadi rugby player has been a vital member for his club in the French Top 14 this season.

Flying Fijians coach John McKee says, he has been following Tuicuvu for a long time and hopes to draft him in the extended squad.

“Certainly very interested and following his performance. I will be talking to him and his coaches about his progress. Certainly a player who I’m looking forward to because he is a specialist 15 and we have Kini Murimurivalu only playing at fullback for us so he will bring more depth.”

McKee is expected to meet Tuicuvu during his trip to France at the end of this month.
