Flying Fijians captain Mosese Rauluni will not play the third match in the International Rugby Board Pacific Nations Cup next week.

Rauluni is taking a break from rugby but will be available for the Australia A match on the 29th of this month.

Fiji Rugby Union's High Performance Unit manager Peter Murphy said apart from Rauluni, Filimoni Delasau is another player who will miss the Australia A match because of his new contract, but he will travel with the side to Japan on Monday.
