Flying Fijians coach John McKee is impressed with the performance of the Fiji Airways Drua in their first National Rugby Championship season.

McKee says, the NRC has shown what local players are capable of if kept in the professional environment.

“NRC program is a massive program for Fiji Rugby and I think we will reap the benefit in-terms progress in the national team.”

The Fiji Drua takes on the Sydney Rays, 6.30pm at ANZ Stadium in Suva on Saturday.
