The Fiji Rugby Union will rope in the services of overseas based rugby experts during the Pacific Nations Cup next year to boost the Flying Fijians preparations to try and reach the semifinals of the 2011 World Cup.
FRU board chairman Bill Gavoka has confirmed that the likes of New South Wales technical advisers Greg Mumm and Shannon Fraser who worked with the Fiji team in the 2007 World Cup will start their work early during the PNC in May next year.
Gavoka said they are confident that with more time given to Mumm and Fraser to work with coach Samu Domoni Jnr the Fiji team can reach the top four finish in the World Cup.
He added that they now have appointed a committee which is chaired by Police Commissioner Commodore Esala Teleni to look after the Flying Fijian's preparation for next year's World Cup.
