Fiji's rugby team, the Fiji Water Flying Fijians, faces a significant blow with key players Semi Radradra and Tim Hoyt ruled out for six weeks. Head coach Senirusi Seruvakula confirmed the double injury setback following their recent loss to Wales in the Nations Championship.

Center Semi Radradra sustained a leg injury that appeared serious, requiring him to be carted off the field. He had only played for just over 20 minutes before exiting the game with a protective boot on his left leg.

The team's woes continued when prop Tim Hoyt suffered a similar leg injury late in the first half. The cart driver had to return to the field to transport Hoyt to the changing room. This marks Hoyt's first Test start, adding to the team's challenges.

The Flying Fijians are scheduled to play England next, a match that will now be more difficult without Radradra and Hoyt. The team must find ways to adapt and perform despite the absence of these crucial players.
