France based winger Rupeni Caucau and Sireli Bobo are among the twenty plus overseas based players who have arrived into the country vying for a spot in the Flying Fijian team that will take on the Wallabies in the Test match on June 5th.

Caucau and Bobo have checked in to the Southern Cross hotel with the likes of hooker Sunia Koto, Wise Luveniyali, Vitori Buatava, Sakiusa Masi and Jone Qovu who have just completed their overseas club commitments.

Players like Graham Dewes, Seremaia Bai, Filimoni Delasau and Akapusi Qera are expected to arrive on Sunday in time for the fitness test.

Others like Kameli Ratuvou, Napolioni Nalaga and Gabriel Lovobalavu are still playing for their respective club and will be available when they will finish their competition.

Fiji Rugby Union coaching director, Samu Domoni Jnr says that the overseas players have been brought in to boost the Flying Fijian team in the game against the Wallabies who are the 3rd ranked team in the IRB.

Fiji will play the Wallabies in Canberra on the 5th of next month.
