Only three overseas based players are yet to confirm their availability for the Fiji Bati side for the Rugby League World Cup.

Fiji National Rugby League general manager Tomi Finau said that Bati coach Rick Stone is still trying to secure the services of Akuila Uate, Jarryd Hayne and John Sutton.

Finau added these players will only be available if they are not considered to represent Australia.

Other players that have confirmed their availability include Petero Civoniceva, Lote Tuqiri, Darryl Millard, Marika Koroibete, Jason Bukuya and Sisa Waqa.

Fiji is in Pool A with defending champions Australia, England and Ireland for the Rugby World Cup in October.
