Fiji has too many wingers to choose from for its one-off Test against the Wallabies next week - including Rupeni Caucaunibuca - according to the Sydney Morning Herald's Greg Growden.
"During a break in training yesterday, [coach Sam] Domoni told the Herald: ''We had 10 wingers turn up the other day.''
"They included Caucaunibuca, 30 on the day of the Test, who has decided to come out of international retirement because he wants to represent Fiji at next year's World Cup. Caucaunibuca, whose career has been interrupted by a long list of disciplinary problems and a three-month ban in 2007 after testing positive for cannabis, scored 13 tries from 25 games for Agen in France this season and said when joining the Fijian squad in Suva last week that he wanted to make amends.
"There has even been suggestions the reformed character, who credits ''the Almighty for reopening the door'', wants to play at five-eighth. ''Many things had been said about me,'' Caucau said. ''Most of them negative but I would like to right the wrong. I get to be the centre of criticism. I want to prove my critics wrong.''
