France based Vodafone Flying Fijians captain Akapusi Qera says he is trying his best to be in the final squad for the Rugby World Cup in England.

Qera who has been named in the 53 member extended squad is trying to make himself fit for the team.

He says it will be a tough challenge to make the cut into the team.

He was speaking after the official launch of the 2015 Music Festival at Ratu Sukuna Park this morning where he was the French Embassies special guest.

Meanwhile, the Vodafone Flying Fijians team will have a lot of international matches before the World Cup including the New Zealand Maori clash on the 11th of next month, PNC from the 18th of next month to August and another test against Canada after the PNC.
