The Fijiana XV’S team will look to make an impact at the 2025 Rugby World Cup in England after debuting in 2022 with a historic win over South Africa.
Their path begins with a battle against a strong Canada side.
Growth of the Fijian Drua, twice Super Rugby champions, has been crucial, with most of the national squad drawn from the side.
Coach Ioan Cunningham leads a team that opens against Canada before facing Scotland and Wales in Pool B.
Sevens veterans Rusila Nagasau and Luisa Tisolo provide experience, while explosive back Vitalina Naikore and hooker Vika Matarugu add leadership.
Half-backs Kolora Lomani and Salanieta Kinita will steer play.
While progression would be a major achievement, the Fijiana promise their trademark flair and fearless rugby.
The Fijiana XV take on Canada at 4.30am on Sunday.
