Former England No.8 Nathan Hughes has declared himself available to represent Fiji at the upcoming Rugby World Cup.

It was the 2019 Six Nations when the back-rower won the last of his 22 caps for his adopted country and with the eligibility rules having changed since then, he has outlined his desire to now represent the land of his birth.

Rugbypass reports that Hughes has heard nothing since and has now voiced a reminder about his availability and desire to represent Fiji in France.

When asked if he was declaring his availability, he said he is leaving it to the selectors.
