The Flying Fijians squad to the Rugby World Cup has been announced, with star man Nemani Nadolo making a welcome return and injured flyer Napolioni Nalaga missing out.
Akapusi Qera captains the 31-strong line-up who face a daunting challenge to advance from the so-called "Pool of Death" alongside England, Australia, Wales and Uruguay.
Nadolo returns to the Flying Fijians team, having missed their successful Pacific Nations Cup campaign through injury.
Nalaga was involved in the 2011 World Cup but was not included in the final line-up, after injuring himself during the PNC, although he has been named among seven non-travelling reserves, alongside veteran utility Seremaia Bai.
Coach John McKee says he's very pleased to announce a strong and experienced team, which includes 14 players backing up from the 2011 tournament.
He acknowledged Pool A will be very challenging but says he has every confidence the Flying Fijians will rise to the challenge, which he says bring out the best in top competitors and top teams.
Fiji have the honour of facing hosts England in the opening match of the tournament in four weeks time.
