Italy based Nicky Little has ruled himself out of the Flying Fijians for the Pacific Nations Cup next month.
Fiji Rugby Union Coaching Director, Ilivasi Tabua said that Little who is currently the highest point scorer in the Fiji 15's team, will not take part this year due to personal commitments.
But the good news for rugby fans is that while the likes of Mosese Rauluni, Kameli Ratuvou and Nicky Little will be unavailable, they will still be able to watch players who were part of the 2007 Rugby World Cup national 15's team.
Tabua adds they are yet to talk to players who have declared their availability.
The Pacific Nations Cup kicks-off in the first week of June.
Meanwhile, looking at the Pacific Rugby Cup, in Round 4 the Fiji Warriors take on Upolu Samoa at Lautoka's Churchill Park on Friday, on Saturday Tau'uta Gold face the Fiji Barbarians in Nuku'alofa while defending champions Tautahi Gold face Savai'i Samoa.
