London Irish’s Aseli Tikoirotuma and Manasa Saulo have been named in the Fiji squad for the November Test matches against Italy, Ireland and Canada.

Tikoirotuma has played in all six of his side’s Aviva Premiership matches this season, while recent signing Saulo is nearing full fitness following his summer move from Toulon.

Fiji head coach John McKee said: “On the back of some good results across June and July we must now step up and perform successfully in Europe next month.

“We have a challenging itinerary as Italy will be tough opposition at their home ground and Ireland beat New Zealand and England across 2016/17.

“To be successful we will need our players to arrive at assembly ready to bring their ‘A’ game and to continue to work hard to build on the gains made across the June and July Test match series.”

The team will kick-off their campaign with a camp in Toulouse from 30 October to 1 November 2017.
