Sam Speight the elder brother of Brumbies star Henry Speight has answered the call to join the Flying Fijians Camp ahead of their clash with the Barbarians this Sunday.
This was after the managements were trying to find some replacement for players who left for their respective clubs.
Sam Speight has already had success against the Barbarians having scored a hat trick of tries against them for the Combined Services just two weeks ago.
He was also a member of the victorious Army team that defeated Royal Navy at Twickenham earlier this year.
The former Queen Victoria School and Suva Grammar School student is of a different built to some of the larger Fijian wings, but his speed and skill is undeniable.
The Flying Fijians has also moved up two places in the latest IRB world rankings and are now placed 11th.
Fiji will meet the Barbarians at 3:30am Sunday.
Meanwhile Wales meet Australia also on Sunday at 6am.
