Flying Fijians 15's rugby coach, Ilivasi Tabua is keeping his fingers crossed that National 15's Rugby captain Mosese Raulun will recover in time for the Pacific Nation Cup which kicks-off in May.

Rauluni has been ruled out for 10 weeks by his Saracens club in England and will undergo a knee surgery. This will see him playing top level rugby once again in April.

Rauluni absence from Saracens has led the club to sign in former All Blacks half-back Justin Marshall on a short-term contract last week.
