It is always a good occasion to see new players walking into the Fiji Water Flying Fijians camp like they are walking into a family member they have not seen for a while.

This was highlighted by coach Mick Byrne when talking about the new players that are in the squad for the November tests tour.

Byrne says it is a unique situation in camp when new players come in, they are actually only new to the squad, but they are not new to the people in the room.

Meanwhile, Swire Shipping Fijian Drua duo Kemueli Valetini and Waqa Nalaga are in line to make their Flying Fijians debut tomorrow against Scotland.

The Flying Fijians will play Scotland at 5.30am at Murrayfield, Scotland.

They will take on Wales at 1.40am on Monday 11th November at the Millennium Stadium before playing Spain at 2am on the 17th of November in their third test.

The Flying Fijians will then take on Ireland in their final test on the 24th of November at 3.10am.
