Tigers superstar Nadolo to return to international stage with Fiji
POWERFUL WINGER SELECTED IN AUTUMN NATIONS CUP SQUAD
LEICESTER Tigers wingers Nemani Nadolo and Kini Murimurivalu have been included in the Fiji squad for the Autumn Nations Cup in November.
The move sees Nadolo, 32, come out of international retirement for the competition, having announced early last year he would no longer play Test rugby.
He did not participate in Fiji’s World Cup campaign in Japan.
Nadolo has scored 19 international tries for the Flying Fijians in 29 Test appearances along with two tries in five appearances for his club, while Murimurivalu has clocked up 26 caps.
The 32-man touring squad, which includes nine Fiji-based players, will gather in camp later in October to play Portugal on November 6 as a warm-up for the Autumn Nations Cup, which replaces the traditional international Test window.
Fiji are grouped with France,
Italy and Scotland in the eightnation tournament, which includes the usual Six Nations teams plus Fiji and Georgia.
