Nakarawa, Tonawai, Matawalu not in Flying Fijians training squad

National 7's reps, Leone Nakarawa, Dale Tonawai and Nikola Matawalu have not been named in the Flying Fijians 43 member training squad for the Pacific Nations cup.

Flying Fijians coach, Samu Domoni Jnr has also not revealed if these three are included in those seven players who are yet to be named in the training squad because of medical considerations.

Nakarawa, Matawalu and Tonawai have Military background and have been in spotlight as New Zealand Government is adamant that it will not allow those players who have Military background.

Meanwhile, some of the players who have been named in the 43 member squad include Seremai Bai, Sireli Bobo, Graham Dewes, Vereniki Goneva, Sunia Koto, Sisa Koyamaibole, Wame Lewaravu, Nicky Little, Wise Luveniyali, Campese Ma'afu, Deacon Manu, Dan Rawaqa, Timoci Nagusa, Sireli Naqelevuki, Akapusi Qera and Seru Rabeni.

Earlier today, FRU CEO, Keni Dakuidreketi stressed that they are yet to receive a formal word from the IRB in relation to the players who will not be allowed in New Zealand.

Dakuidreketi added that people must remember that they are not naming the team to the Rugby World Cup as yet.
