He was selected into the Fiji Bati test team to play Papua New Guinea in November 2011,^[5] after a good performance during the "Battle of the Batis".^[6] He made his Test debut on the wing for Fiji in their win over the PNG Kumuls at Mount Hagen.

He was selected in the Fiji Bati team to the 2013 Rugby League World Cup but dropped out after his ankle-injury.^[7]

In April 2014, he was selected in to the Fiji Bati side again to prepare for their one-off test against Samoa for a berth in the 2014 Rugby League Four Nations but he pulled out because he had signed a rugby union contract with the Waratahs and was prohibited from playing rugby league. He sought release from the West Tigers after being offered a contract to play for New South Wales in Super Rugby.^[8]

Rugby union

Naiyaravoro was signed to the New South Wales Waratahs followed injuries to regular wingers, Peter Betham and Alofa Alofa.^[9] He joined the Parramatta Two Blues team in preparation for a starting berth with the Waratahs.

In March 2015, he was linked with a move to Pro12 joining Scottish club, Edinburgh. The club offered him an annual salary of £175,000 to quit Super rugby. The 3-year contract was to allow him to qualify for Scotland under the 3-year residency rule.^[14] A strong performance by Naiyaravoro in May caught the eye of Wallabies coach Michael Cheika but on 18 May it was announced that Naiyaravoro had signed a three-year contract with another Scottish team, Glasgow Warriors.^[15]
