The Fiji Airways Flying Fijians will begin their 8 team Autumn Nations Cup against France on 15th November.

Fiji will take on Italy on the 21st of November and then play against Scotland on November 28th.

The Autumn Nations Cup will conclude with a special final round of matches. Based on the pool rankings coming into the final weekend, each team will face off in a cross over final against their equivalent placing in the opposite pool.

The other pool consists of England, Wales, Ireland and Georgia.

FRU CEO, John O’Connor says after the last few weeks of negotiations, they are thrilled to be invited to compete in this landmark competition.

He says they could not have hoped for a more exciting way to embark on a fresh journey for the Flying Fijians under Head Coach Vern Cotter than the chance to play in this Autumn Nations Cup.

Cotter is due to announce his squad in coming weeks with the Flying Fijians tentatively planned to assemble in France around October 25th.
