Flying Fijians prop Jone Koroiduadua has been ruled out of the Rugby World Cup after sustaining an injury during the team’s training run.

He will be replaced by Emosi Tuqiri who joins the squad later this week.

Koroiduadua played two test matches for the Flying Fijians, against France and England before traveling with the team to the Rugby World Cup team base camp in Bordeaux.

On behalf of Flying Fijians players, coaches, and management, Head Coach Simon Raiwalui wished him all the very best in his recovery.
