Australian rugby fans have been urged to hand in their rugby gear at National Rugby Championship matches to give Fijian children a chance to chase their rugby dreams.

Fans can bring pre-loved boots, balls and playing kits to games this weekend, to donate to The Fiji Project, an organization that works to help hundreds of Fijians in desperate need of the equipment.

The Fiji Project co-founder Katrina Oxenham said the donations would mean everything to the children.

Meanwhile, the Fiji Airways Drua takes on the Greater Sydney Rams in its next match at 4pm on Saturday.
