Vodafone Flying Fijians head coach John McKee is already eying almost half of the national sevens gold medalists to feature in the 15s side in the future.

With Leone Nakarawa and Savenaca Rawaca already part of the Flying Fijians set up, McKee is eying other potential players who can boost the side with the likes of Josua Tuisova, Semi Kunatani, Viliame Mata, Vatemo Ravouvou and Kitione Taliga.

The European based players have started their season again with the French Top 14 sides.

McKee believes they have a good base of players for the end of the year Northern Tour where they will face England and the Barbarians at Twickenham and Kingspan Stadium in November.
