Vodafone Flying Fijians coach John McKee has confirmed that talks are still on going over the availability of Super Rugby players Nemani Nadolo and Asaeli Tikoirotuma for the World Cup qualifier.

Fiji’s match against the Cook Islands takes place on June 28th, the same night as the Crusaders game against the Hurricanes and the Chiefs game against the Highlanders.

McKee had earlier stated that he wants both players in his line up but an agreement is yet to be reached with the two Super Rugby franchises.

Meanwhile, the Vodafone Flying Fijians will take on Italy in their first test match on the 7th of next month.
