Sixty players from across the country have been selected to join the Fiji Rugby Union High Performance Unit (HPU) Academy, strengthening the union’s commitment to building depth and achieving long-term success on the global stage.

The group, made up of 30 men and 30 women, took part in an intensive two-day camp that brought together talent from Suva, Nadi, Sigatoka, Nadroga, Nasinu, Kadavu, and Namosi.

One of the standout stories is the return of Tokasa Seniyasi, a former Fijiana 15s and 7s representative, who has rejoined the high-performance pathway after overcoming injury setbacks following the Tokyo Olympics.
