The last day for overseas based players expected to be in the country before the team leaves for the defence of the Melrose Cup in Dubai on February 28th.

National Coaching Director Ilivasi Tabua said overseas based players have either called or written to the Fiji Rugby Union (FRU) to show their interest in donning the white jersey.

However, most cannot make it to the Fiji Bitter Marist 7s but will be here 5 days prior to the World Cup.
