He says these Pacific Island players bring something different to the sport.

“I just think the energy, last week’s results the competition that you got here, it’s improving, it has made a massive difference to the dept. of Fiji Rugby. I think it is about opportunity, keeping the rhythm and momentum that they got from Drua.”
