Cornish Pirates hooker Sam Matavesi has been called up to the Fiji squad for their upcoming autumn tour of Europe.

The 26-year-old has been named in coach John McKee's 30-man squad for the tour, and is reward for a solid start to the season after scoring four tries in six appearances for the Pirates.

Camborne-born Matavesi has previously been capped three times by the Flying Fijians.

Fiji face Scotland in their first international at Murrayfield on Saturday (kick-off 2.30pm), before taking on Uruguay at Hartpury on Saturday, November 17, and round off the tour against France at the Stade de France on Saturday, November 24 (kick-off 7.45pm).

Sam's brother Josh, a centre for English Premiership side Newcastle Falcons, is not included in the squad but has made 40 appearances since making his debut against Scotland in 2009.
