Fiji Airways Flying Fijians and Bordeaux-Begles prop Peni Ravai and La Rochelle robust center Levani Botia have been ruled out of the November test matches.

Flying Fijians coach John McKee says Ravai has gone through a knee surgery while Botia has been injured since the beginning of this year.

Peni Ravai has had some surgery since returning after the June test matches so he is surely out of contention. Levani Botia, his rehab is progressing well but he won’t be ready for the November test matches.

Fiji plays Scotland on the 11th of November, then faces Uruguay and meets France in the final test match on the 24th.
