Apisalome Ratuniyarawa and Samu Wara will create history for Fiji rugby as they will be the first ever Flying Fijians to be awarded the test caps.

This comes after the two players were named in the starting lineup to face England this weekend.

Earlier this week the Fiji Rugby Union has said that they will start awarding test caps to players who will be donning the national jersey for the first time.

Speaking to Fijivillage this morning, team manager Aseri Rokoura says the two players will be awarded the test caps after the game.


Meanwhile, the team to face England is:

Ratu Penijamini Makutu, Viliame Veikoso, Deacon Manu, Leone Nakarawa, Apisalome Ratuniyarawa, Apisai Naikatini, Malakai Ravulo, Akapusi Qera, Nikola Matawalu, Metuisela Talebula, Watisoni Votu, Sireli Naqelevuki, Vereniki Goneva, Samu Wara, Simeli Koniferedi.

The reserves are Seremai Naureure, Setefano Somoca, Manasa Saulo, Iliesa Ratuva, Sekonai Kalou, Kelemedi Bola, Josh Matavesi and Ravai Fatiaki.

Fiji will face England at 3:30am Sunday.
