Wallabies coach Michael Cheika has revealed his squad for the upcoming June Tests against Fiji, Scotland and Italy and it has seven players with links to Fiji.
Cheika has included Scott Higginbotham, Samu Kerevi, Tevita Kuridrani, Eto Nabuli, Marika Koroibete, Henry Speight and Sefa Naivalu as part of his exciting backline.
Nabuli and Koroibete will be making their debut but it could be a backline of Fijians with Kerevi and Kuridrani highly likely to be wearing 12 and 13 while Naivalu could be on the wing alongside Koroibete or even Nabuli and Speight.
Meanwhile Cheika has not included some big names in his squad including Dean Mumm, Scott Fardy, Rob Simmons, Kane Douglas, Rob Horne and Will Skelton.
He named eight potential debutants which include Nabuli, Koroibete, Ned Hanigan, Richard Hardwick, Joe Powell, Jack Dempsey, Lukhan Tui and Karmichael Hunt in the mix.
The Wallabies will host the Vodafone Flying Fijians at 9pm next Saturday.
