Vodafone Flying Fijians coach will be naming his 38-member squad for the Rugby World Cup later this week.

The team, which won the Pacific Nations Cup yesterday, beating Samoa 39-29 in the final, arrives back into the country tomorrow.

McKee says he will name 38 players in total and the 31 for the World Cup will be named from this group after fitness testing and medical screening next week when they march into camp.
