Fijian Drua, who are presently preparing for their Super Rugby Pacific quarter-final this weekend at Crusaders, have 23 RWC players involved along with 13 from the French Top 14, five from the English Premiership, and one each from the French Pro D2, the URC, Japan’s League one and Super Rugby.
The game build-up towards the finals commences next month with Test games against Tonga, Samoa and Japan before the Fiji Rugby World Cup team will travel to Europe for further warm-up games against France and England. A report explained that due to petty injuries to some players, Raiwalui will wait until the end of the Drua’s crusade before confirming his final squad of 38 that will go into camp on June 30 in Taveuni.
RWC 2023 training team is going to Taveuni
It’s a great stability of players in the team, said the head coach. We know the different systems they play in, particularly the Drua judging from the results that they have formed this year. Making the quarter-finals in their second year only makes my choice of the team an intimidating exercise. All those nominated from overseas or locally deserve to be in the Fiji Water Flying Fijians squad.
We are going to Taveuni which is going to be an exceptional experience, with no five-star hotels, no extravagances, live amongst the people and link with them. We clearly will be there for a mission but
part of it is re-joining with who we are as Fijians and why we are the Flying Fijians and what is the goal. The ultimate goal is the France Rugby World Cup 2023.
We got Tonga first here at home and they are a well-experienced side as they got some new players this year. Then we move on to Samoa and Japan. Those games are in our region. We have a week off and then we will fly to Europe to play France and England which are great matches to play leading into the France Rugby World Cup.

Rugby World Cup: Fiji’s 113kg centre should not be able to reach this top speed
There cannot be many more frightening sights in all of the rugby than seeing Fiji and former rugby club Lyon centre Josua Tuisova running straight at you. We all knew that the 29-year-old was fast, and with legs like two oil drums we all knew he was influential, but admirers got a glimpse of his top speed new, and it is honestly frightening. Up against Bordeaux-Begles at the Stade Gerland, Tuisova was underway and finally finished a move from deep within his half.
The passage of play started with a break through the heart of the Bordeaux defence, where French TV chased his speed. The Fijian touched a top speed of 34 kilometres per hour before passing. Now there are players quicker than that, the All-Blacks’ Rieko Ioane and Wales’ Louis Rees-Zammit have both been chased nearing 39 kilometres per hour, but neither is carrying the same frame as Tuisova although Ioane is not precisely a small rugby club.
The final goal is the France Rugby World Cup, Raiwalui said So that is like Rees-Zammit trying to run at top speed while carrying a mini fridge. The fact that the centre can get anywhere near their pace helps explain why he is such a shocking ball carrier. Tuisova was included in Simon Raiwalui’s 45-man Fiji squad that will prepare to face Tonga, Samoa and Japan next month in the build-up to the Rugby World Cup 2023. When the final squad is selected, Tuisova will surely be one of the first players nominated.
We got Tonga first here at home and they are a well-experienced side as they got some new players this year. Then we move on to Samoa and Japan. Those games are in our region. We have a week off and then we will fly to Europe to play France and England which are great games to play leading into the RWC.
Georgia Rugby World Cup is on a mission for 2023
An opportunity will come later this year when Georgia’s senior side will be determined to make an effect on the RWC in France later this year. Head coach Levan Maisashvili's side will face Australia, Fiji, Portugal and Wales rugby teams in the pool phase, with the nation aiming for two victories. Georgia is presently ranked 11th in the world heading into the contest, three places ahead of Six Nations supports Italy.
Fiji going to face Georgia on 30 Sep 2023 at Matmut Atlantique, Bordeaux Fiji and Georgia each have an outside chance of advancing from Pool C, with this match a key factor in deciding whether that happens. These teams last met at the RWC in 2019, with Fiji coming out on top, 10-45.
