Fiji sweat on three injured wings

By Online Editors
Thursday 1 Sep 2011

Fiji media reports that all three wings in the World Cup squad are injured, setting back Fiji's preparation for the tournament which starts in eight days.

The Fiji team's media officer, Vilikesa Rinavuaka, told Fiji Village website that British-based wing Michael Tagicakibau is unlikely to train for five days because of a hamstring injury.

Naplioni Nalaa sustained a chest injury in training Wednesday and Verniki Goneva has a sprained ankle.

Fiji already had minor injury concerns over prop Campese Ma'afu, who suffered a head knock in training, and hooker Sunia Koto who has an injured shoulder.

Fiji plays Namibia on September 10 in its World Cup opener.
