“Unfortunately we have 46 players in camp now, he just has to name 31 and some good players will miss out. But I think the coaches will make the decision and hopefully all the boys have had an opportunity to prove that they should be on the journey and we are hoping to take a very competitive team.”

Fiji is pooled with Australia, Wales, Uruguay and Georgia.
