Fijiana 15's Head Coach, Senirusi Seruvakula says the players that will be chosen to represent Fiji at the World Cup will not be there just to make up the numbers.

This is the first that the Fijiana 15s team will play in a World Cup.

Seruvakula says it is new for the players to train in places such as the Navy Base in Togalevu and the Naboro Prison Compound.

He adds it's not going to be an easy task for the players in the extended squad to make it in the final 30 member squad.

The Fijiana are in Pool C with England, France and South Africa.

The Women's Rugby World Cup will be held from the 8th of October to the 12th of November next year in New Zealand.
