Benito Masilevu

Vodafone Flying Fijians coach John McKee has called in John Stewart and Benito Masilevu to the June Test squad.

The two players will replace Nemani Nadolo who is out with concussion and Asaeli Tikoirotuma who has been suspended for a dangerous tackle last weekend.

Tikoirotuma was handed a four weeks suspension and will be available for the Rugby World Cup qualifiers.

The team will assemble in Fiji next Saturday.

The Flying Fijians play Australia in Melbourne on the 10th of next month.

Fiji host Italy and Scotland before taking on Samoa and Tonga in the World Cup qualifiers.
