Former Hurricanes winger Salesi Rayasi, Hawkes Bay half back Sam Wye and Swire Shipping Fijian Drua utility back Isikeli Rabitu have been named in the 44 member Fiji Water Flying Fijians extended squad.
Former Fiji Airways 7s and Vodafone Fiji Bati player Taniela Sadrugu has also been named in the squad for the July Tests.
The Flying Fijians are scheduled to play the Wallabies on 6th July in Newcastle, Australia, and the second Test against Scotland on 12th July 2025 at the HFC Bank Stadium, Suva.
Head Coach Mick Byrne says this extended squad has been selected following thorough discussions and deliberations by the coaching and management team.
He says as is always the case with international selections, the process was challenging due to the depth and quality of talent available globally which meant some high-performing players have unfortunately missed out.
