Livai Natave has been called into the national squad as a replacement for Fiji Water Flying Fijians prop Atu Sokobale, who has been ruled out due to injury.
Team management confirms that Sokobale will not recover in time for the upcoming international window and has been withdrawn from the squad.
Fiji Rugby has wished Sokobale a speedy recovery and hopes to see him back on the field soon.
Natave has been rewarded with a call-up, with selectors highlighting his strong work ethic and versatility as key qualities that will add valuable depth and energy to the squad.
