The Fiji National Rugby League has formulated a plan for both Fiji Bati overseas and local players to get in tune with the program set by head coach Joe Rabele.

In light of the recent pandemic and travel restrictions, Fiji Bati Manager Tevita Koroisaya says they had to make changes to suit the entire team.

Korosaya says the first option is to have the players come down Fiji a week before the World Cup next year or just have the overseas players follow the training schedule set by the national coach.
