Fiji Airways Flying Fijians halfback Henry Seniloli is impressed with local players that are vying for a spot in the Flying Fijian to the World Cup.

England based Doncaster Knights scrum-half was part of the Swire Shipping Fijian Latui side for the past three weeks and also played against the Western Force in the Global Rapid Rugby last weekend in Perth.

Playing for the Latui has given him a fair idea about the competition level within local players.

Seniloli is among four other experienced half-backs named in the Flying Fijians extended squad which includes, local stars Frank Lomani, Serupepeli Vularika, and Glasgow Warriors based Nikola Matawalu.

He says that whoever trains and plays well will be given the spot in the team.

He adds he is looking forward to the camp next week ahead of the Pacific Test Series versus Maori All Blacks,

Pacific Nations Cup and the Rugby World Cup in Japan in September.

The Fiji Airways Flying Fijians march into camp next Monday and will face the Maori All Blacks on the 13th of July at the ANZ Stadium before the return match in Rotorua on the 20th of next month.
