FROM THE SIDELINES

Niko Matawalu

Position: Wing/Scrum-Half

Club: Glasgow Warriors

Age: 30

Niko Matawalu has somewhat fallen out of favour

when it comes to international selection. Although

he offers a unique level of versatility - he is

unusually able to play on the wing and at

scrum-half - and electric on his day, the Glasgow

Warrior has had to be satisfied with a spot on Fiji's

bench. But, at 30 years old, this World Cup will

likely be his last, so don't be surprised to see

Matawalu raise his game.

Josua Tuisova

Position: Wing

Club: Toulon

Age: 25

Since signing for Toulon in 2013, Josua Tuisova has

become one of Europe's most feared wingers,

having scored 44 tries in 113 appearances. As

powerful as he is quick, the 25-year-old takes some

stopping, and if he can transfer his try-scoring club

form to the international stage, he'll become a

fixture in the Fiji side.
