Olympic gold medalists Vilimoni Botitu, Aminiasi Tuimaba, Jiuta Wainiqolo and Masivesi Dakuwaqa are expected to make their debut for Vodafone Flying Fijians when they face Spain in their first Autumn Test this Sunday.

The four Olympic gold medalists are part of the 28-member squad that has assembled in Europe.

Botitu plays for Castres Olympique, Tuimaba plays for Pau while Dakuwaqa and Wainiqolo play for Toulon in the French Top 14.

The 28-member squad includes players who are based in Europe.

This will be the Flying Fijians third Test match this year after playing the All Blacks twice in July.

The 28-member squad includes Vilimoni Botitu, Aminiasi Tuimaba, Jiuta Wainiqolo, Leone Nakarawa, Viliame Mata, Josua Tuisova, Masivesi Dakuwaqa, Peni Ravai, Eroni Mawi, Sam Matavesi, Peniami Narisia, Luke Tagi, Mesake Doge, Leeroy Atalifo, Tevita Ratuva, Temo Mayanavanua, Albert Tuisue, Peceli Yato, Johnny Dyer, Mesulame Kunavula, Frank Lomani, Nikola Matawalu, Ben Volavola, Levani Botia, Eneriko Buliruarua, Waisea Nayacalevu, Eroni Sau and Seta Tuicuvu.

The team to face Spain will be named tomorrow.

Fiji meets Spain at 3am Sunday.

In other test matches this week, Japan will face Ireland at 1am Sunday and New Zealand will meet Italy at 1am Sunday.
