The Vodafone Flying Fijians are looking forward to bolstering their playing strength ahead of next month's World Cup qualifiers with two key lead‑up tests against Six Nations opposition.
The winner of the Oceania qualifier will earn a place in the same pool as the Wallabies in the World Cup and coach John McKee says topping that tournament is Fiji's main objective tomorrow.
Wing Patrick Osborne will join the squad after his club the Highlanders takes on the British and Irish Lions tonight, while Toulon wing Josua Tuisova will also join the side after his wedding yesterday.
Meanwhile the Italians arrived in the country yesterday.
Fiji is ranked 10th in the world while Italy is ranked 15th and Fiji has won the last three matches between the two sides.
The Flying Fijians will host Italy at 2.30pm Saturday at the ANZ Stadium and you can catch the live commentary on our sister station Viti FM (92.2FM).
