Retiring from rugby is something that is not in the mind of former Fiji Water Flying Fijians rep Levani Botia who has also revealed that he is still available if the Flying Fijians need him.

Botia is recovering from an injury that has put him on the sideline for the past 22 weeks and is still in doubt about when he will make his comeback for his La Rochelle club.

Botia has played a total of 200 Top 14 matches for La Rochelle.

The 35-year-old says he is still working hard to be fit and be available if Fiji needs him.

He says he will be back probably in a few weeks and it is one of the longest injury recoveries he has ever had.

Botia says he is missing rugby and sometimes it is boring because he can’t do too much during this situation.

He had shown his interest to play for the Flying Fijians again in the upcoming November tour but his injury clearance date is still yet to be confirmed.
