Could the Wallabies backline be packed with Fijian players?
Possible Fijian backline L-R: Eto Nabuli, Henry Speight, Samu Kerevi and Tevita Kuridrani

As the Wallabies get ready to name their squad for the June Test, it's backline could be packed with Fiji born players.

Wingers Henry Speight and Marika Koroibete are in good form, and the possibility that Samu Kerevi and Tevita Kuridrani's centre combination from last year could be restored.

This does not rule out Eto Nabuli and Sefa Naivalu as potential backs for the remaining tests.

Meanwhile halfback Will Genia is expected to be the only overseas‑based player named in the squad.

The Wallabies will host the Flying Fijians at 9pm next Saturday in Melbourne.
