D-Day for ruggers vying for RWC spot
The 22 year old who is training to be a pilot is the youngest member in the trials this evening and is hoping to get a break into the national team when it is announced by the coaching staff tomorrow.
The former QVS U-19 first five eight knows that he has to be at his best coming up against the experienced Nicky Little who is likely to get the nod to be in the starting line-up.
Meanwhile, the Fiji Rugby Union is not taking the drug allegation against its team official lightly as they have now tested the 15 member management team who are expected to accompany the team to the Rugby World Cup.
Games committee chairman Rafaele Kasibulu has confirmed that the 15 member coaching and management staff have undergone a drug test with the test results expected to be given to the FRU before the team will be announced tomorrow at the Holiday Inn.
This has been done to assist the FRU after a number of allegations were levelled against the Fiji 15's coaching staff.
Kasibulu also confirmed that the 30 member FMF Flying Fijians squad to be announced tomorrow will also undergo a drug test before they will leave for France.
Meanwhile it has been confirmed that former National coach Big Brad Johnstone who has been helping the Fiji side will not be travelling with the team to France as claimed.
Johnstone said that he was surprised to see that it was highlighted in the media that he was part of the coaching staff.
The Possibles/Probables final trial test kicks off at the Post Fiji stadium at 6pm tonight.
