Raiwalui names Fiji Water Flying Fijians extended squad 

Fiji Water Flying Fijians Head Coach Simon Raiwalui has finalized his 39-member extended squad which marches into camp next Saturday. 

Out of the 45 players named in the wider group a fortnight ago, Raiwalui has reduced the squad to 39 after all club commitments were finished. 

 Raiwalui said “We had to wait until all club commitments were finished before finalizing the squad. There were a few injury concerns and this has been reflected in the selection of the squad. 

 “Prop Haereiti Hetet and utility forward Joseva Tamani are still recovering for injury and will be managed from outside the group by our medical staff. All members not named in the initial training group will remain part of the wider group and be provided training programs, they will remain in contention for selection should there be any injuries.”
