As the FMF Flying Fijians try to reach the top eight of the 2007 Rugby World Cup, the biggest question that is now being asked is whether Fijian flyer, Rupeni Caucau will play against Wales on Sunday.
It is understood that Caucau has already left for France to arrange his contract details with his club, Agen and is highly likely to visit the Fiji 15's team's base camp when he arrives in France.
When contacted this morning, Fiji coach, Ilivasi Tabua said that he can only confirm that Caucau has not made any contact with him.
Tabua also said that he has no idea on when or whether Caucau will visit their camp in Moissac.
Meanwhile Tabua has also confirmed that they did not try to contact Caucau over the past week and they are satisfied with Sireli Bobo joining the squad for the game against Wales at this stage.
With only three days to go for the deciding match against Wales, the FMF Flying Fijians is down with two injuries to loose-men Netani Talei and Aca Ratuva.
Ilivasi Tabua said that he is still assessing Biarritz based, Sireli Bobo's fitness level before announcing his run-on-team.
Tabua adds that the boys are focused and their aim is to advance in to the quarterfinals.
The first training run in Nantes yesterday involved the basics of the game, including polishing up on their set pieces and lineout throws.
The FMF Flying Fijians/Wales game kicks off at 3am Sunday.
Meanwhile Georgia won their final World Cup match today when they defeated Namibia by 30 points to nil, Samoa defeated USA 25 -.21.
