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.
