[QUOTE="Melhor Time, post: 419658, member: 20116"] I would not have picked Rabeni myself. Far bigger worries than his ommision. Just looking at the wingers is illustrative. [SIZE=2][FONT=microsoft sans serif]Ilikena Bolakoro[/FONT] and [FONT=microsoft sans serif]Vereniki Goneva[/FONT] would struggle to make the Top 5 Fijian wingers in France but both are in the squad. Of course Vilimoni Delasau, Rupeni Caucaunibuca, Josh Matavesi and Sireli Bobo all withdrew from RWC contention but none of them are in my suggested squad either. Seriously questionable Fijian squad as I see it. [/SIZE]My squad would have been as follows: [B]Starting XV: [/B] 1 Graham Dewes (Counties, New Zealand) 2 Sunia Koto (Narbonne, France) 3 Deacon Manu (Scarlets, Wales) 4 Wame Lewaravu (Sale, England) 5 Ifereimi Rawaqa (Toyota Shokki, Japan) 6 Rupeni Nasiga (Nadroga) 7 Akapusi Qera (Gloucester, England) 8 Sakiusa Matadigo (Montpellier, France) 9 Nemia Nemia Kenatale Ranuku (Tailevu) 10 Seremaia Baïkeinuku (Castres, France) 11 Napolini Nalaga (Police) 12 Gabrielle Lovobalavu (Toulon, France) 13 Alberto Vulivuli (Racing Metro, France) 14 Timoci Magusa (Montpellier, France) 15 Taniela Rawaqa (Lautoka) [B]Reserves: [/B]16 Viliame Veikoso (Nadi), 17 Campese Ma'afu (Eastern Suburbs, Australia), 18 Sekonaia Kalou (Otago, New Zealand), 19 Sisa Koyamaibole (Lyon, France), 20 Seveci Takamaiwai (Suva), 21 Nicky Little (Fiji), 22 Michael Tagicakibau(Saracens, England) [B]Additional Players: [/B]23 Talemaitoga Tuapati (Southland, New Zealand), 24 Penijamini Makutu (Counties, New Zealand), 25 Josefa Domolailai (Bobigny, France), 26 Dominiko Waqaniburotu (Waikato, New Zealand), 27 Malakai Ravulo (North Harbour, New Zealand), 28 Waisale Vatuvoka (Lautoka), 29 Waisea Luveniyali (London Welsh, England), 30 Sireli Naqelevuki (Exeter Chiefs, England).
