Fiji Water Flying Fijians coach Mick Byrne and his selection team will be looking to create a larger squad number to prepare for the upcoming November test considering the fact that they will need two different squads for the tour.

While speaking to fijivillage News, Byrne says the upcoming matches are a great opportunity for them and also a challenge as they will not have the services of most of their Northern Hemisphere-based players in the first test match against Scotland.

He says it will be the same sort of side that participated in the recent Asahi Super Dry Pacific Nations Cup competition and then they will bring in the Northern Hemisphere players after the Scotland game and get them ready for Wales.

The Flying Fijians squad for the November tests is expected to be named by the end of next week. The Flying Fijians will take on Scotland on the 3rd of November in their first test, they will then take on Wales on the 11th of November before playing Spain in the third test on the 17th of November. They will play Ireland on the 24th of November in their final test.
