Vodafone Fiji Bati coach Joe Rabele has confirmed that all their NRL players and Super League players who were not part of the June Test will be available for selection for the Rugby League World Cup.

Rabele says this year’s World Cup selection will be tough for them as they have a good pool of players who have put their hands up to play for the Bati.

Some of the players who are currently part of the extended squad including Apisai Koroisau, Joe Lovodua, the Sims brothers, the Saifiti Brothers, Viliame Kikau, Tui Kamikamica, Kane Evans, Kevin Naiqama, Marcelo Montoya, Isaac Lumelume, Maika Sivo, Semi Valemei, Waqa Blake, Taane Milne, Mikaele Ravalawa, Pio Seci, Braydon Wakeham, Sitiveni Moceidreke and Sunia Turuva.

The Rugby League World Cup will be held in England from October to November.

The Fiji Bati is pooled with the Australian Kangaroos, Scotland and Italy.
