Cokanasiga was born in Suva but moved to England as a three‑year‑old and was part of the under‑20 side that won a Grand Slam in their age‑grade Six Nations in 2017.

He scored four tries in 20 league appearances last season as part of London Irish's unsuccessful fight against Premiership relegation before signing a contract with Bath in the summer.

England will face Japan at 4am this Sunday.
