Nemani Nadolo has recovered sufficiently from a leg injury to make Fiji's 31-man squad for the Rugby World Cup, but Napolioni Nalaga misses out.

Crusaders star Nadolo was absent from Fiji's triumph in the World Rugby Pacific Nations Cup earlier this year, but will travel to England for the showpiece tournament.

Winger Nalaga is unavailable due to an unspecified injury, although he is named as one of seven non-travelling reserves.

Akapusi Qera captains the team at his third World Cup, while Leicester Tigers' Vereniki Goneva makes the cut but club-mate Seremaia Bai, 36, is only a reserve.

"After the successful Pacific Nations Cup campaign and current training camp here in Fiji the squad is working well towards the challenges ahead in the United Kingdom at the Rugby World Cup," Fiji coach John McKee said.

"Pool A is a very challenging pool and I have every confidence that this team will rise to the challenge and bring their best game to every match at the World Cup."

Fiji, ranked ninth in the world, are in a difficult Group A alongside hosts England, Australia, Wales and Uruguay.
