Nalaga, Satala join team today
Satala, who was an instrumental figure in Fiji's 2005 World Cup, had earlier said he is ready to represent Fiji again while 23 year old Napolioni Nalag, is one of the most elusive wings in Europe.
Nalaga, who is the former Fiji Under 21 captain and hails from Nasama, Nadroga, is 6 feet 3 inches tall and weighs 220 pounds.
He is also the top try scorer in the French Top 14 competition and scored 3 tries in his last match before going to Dubai over the weekend.
Fiji's chairman of selectors Ilivasi Tabua said having possession is the key in rugby and with Naevo, Satala and Nalaga, it will be a major boost for the defending champions.
Tabua confirmed Satala and Nalaga will arrive in Dubai within the next 3 hours.
He also confirmed that Waisale Suka and Orisi Sariki will leave the country tomorrow morning.
