FRU names Flying Fijians team for Europe Tour

The Fiji Rugby Union has released the names of a strong Vodafone Flying Fijians team for the 2016 Europe Tour in November.

The team consists of both local and overseas based players and sees the inclusion of Olympic Gold Medalists, Josua Tuisova, Leone Nakarawa and Vatemo Ravouvou. 

Also included in the side are players that missed out on selection for the 2016 Pacific Nations Cup due to their rugby commitments but are now available for the November tour.
