Fiji Rugby Union High Performance General Manager Mike Ryan said some of our local rugby players lack the strength and conditioning training required for rugby.
Speaking to Fijivillage, Ryan said we have a large pool of players that can become professional rugby players but they have to maintain the 12 month training programme for them to perform at the highest level.
Ryan added the Fiji Rugby Union is looking into ways to improve on this aspect of training.
Meanwhile, the 12 member Fiji 7s team for the Hong Kong 7s tournament will be named tomorrow.
