Botia, Yato, Dyer and Narisia ruled out

Three changes have been made to the Flying Fijians 28-member squad which has moved into the camp in Madrid to prepare for their opening Northern Tour match against Spain on Sunday.

Robust centre Levani Botia will undergo a knee operation this month and will not be part of the tour. He has been replaced by Apisai Naqaliva.

Hooker Peni Narisia has suffered a calf injury and will be replaced by Zuriel Togiatama while veteran lock Api Ratuniyarawa has been called in as a replacement for Peceli Yato who suffered a knee injury during his club game for Clermont in French Top 14.

Johnny Dyer has also pulled out citing personal reasons and the Flying Fijians coaching panel will decide whether to get a replacement for him or not.

Meanwhile, 20-year-old hooker, Henry Spring of Stade Francais Paris Rugby Club has been brought into the squad for the Spain match.

Fiji will play Spain at 3am this Sunday.
