Fiji Water Flying Fijians fly-half Caleb Muntz has been ruled out of the Rugby World Cup after sustaining a knee injury during the team's training run.
Head Coach Simon Raiwalui has confirmed from France that on Monday, Caleb sustained a knee injury in a non-contact session and is out of the Rugby World Cup.
Raiwalui says it's most devastating for the team as a group and for Caleb, he has worked so hard for the past two years with the Fijian Drua and for the Flying Fijians.
He says he feels for him as a young man he misses the opportunity so close to the Rugby World Cup.
Raiwalui says there are a few players outside the current group they are looking at as options for replacement and will make a decision in the next couple of days.
He adds they have got 33 players and they have the utmost confidence in them.
Raiwalui says once they name the team for the match against Wales, they will have utmost faith in whom they have selected.
Muntz made his debut for the Flying Fijians against Tonga this year and since then has been a vital part of the team in its preparation for the Rugby World Cup in France.
