Fiji flyers pick clubs over country

Fiji coaching director Franck Boivert is fuming after two backline players picked French club rugby over national duty.  

Clermont wing Noa Nakaitaci and Racing Metro fullback Virimi Vakatawa have ruled themselves out of Fiji’s end-of-year tour to Europe.

The duo declined coach Inoke Male’s invitation to join the squad, opting instead to stay at their respective clubs.
