Nemani Nadolo will not be available to play for the Vodafone Flying Fijians against Tonga, Samoa and Georgia in Suva next month for “personal reasons”.
Nadolo’s decision to steer clear of the Flying Fijians test has also boosted the Crusaders team as they prepare to motor down Super Rugby’s home stretch.
Nadolo will make his return from a four‑week suspension against the Blues in Auckland on Saturday night.
He will join French club Montpellier when the Super Rugby competition ends this year.
Flying Fijians coach John McKee says he respects Nadolo’s decision and wishes him well for the rest of the Super Rugby season.
Meanwhile the Vodafone Flying Fijians players will start their camp on the 1st of next month.
Fiji will play Tonga on the 11th of June before taking on Samoa on the 18th of June at the ANZ Stadium.
Their test against Georgia is on the 24th of June.
