“Our plans are to get all the youths out and do lots and lots of promotion here in Nadi where we can dig out the raw talents and then we select our team as I’ve said before and then send them to Suva as the final selection will be by FABA and we think there are hundreds of fighters out there who are looking for this kind of chance.”
