HARDWORKING openside flanker Peceli Yato will miss the Flying Fijians next Rugby World Cup match against Uruguay in Hamashiri on Wednesday.

The giant backrower will have to sit out the six days rest period recommended for players replaced after a head injury assessment (HIA).

Coach John McKee said with the short turnaround before the next game, it would not be possible for Yato to play.

“With the short turnaround, Peceli won’t be right for the next game as we have a six-day turnaround for a HIA player to be available so he will not be available for us on Wednesday,” McKee said.
