Vodafone Flying Fijians coach John McKee says the return of seasoned campaigners, Seremaia Bai and Netani Talei, means he now has the best squad to select from for the Rugby World Cup.

McKee has named a preliminary squad of 38 players who march into camp on Wednesday.

He says there will be very stringent tests done before the 31 players for the World Cup are announced.
