Naqelevuki

Called up: Sireli Naqelevuki

Injuries have forced Fiji to make two late changes to the squad for its four-match rugby tour of Europe.

Suva center Josaia Lotawa failed a fitness test and has been replaced in the 30-man touring squad by England-based Sireli Naqelevuki.

New Zealand-based scrum-half Nemia Kenatale has also been ruled out and will be replaced by Nadroga full-back Aisea Natoga. Melbourne Rebels utility Samu Wara will provide cover at scrum-half for Scotland-based Nikola Matawalu and Lautoka's Kelemedi Bola.

Fiji will start its tour on November 10 with a Test against England, followed by matches against Gloucester, Ireland A and Georgia.

Why on earth are two outside backs covering the scrum-half position? They're not exactly Austin Healey or Ruan Pienaar to be able to do that at international level so I don't get it.
