Fijian Warriors prepare for World Rugby Pacific Challenge in March.

Plans are still in place for Fiji to host the World Rugby Pacific Challenge this year.

Fiji Rugby Union Chief Executive John O’Connor says they’ve had to setup local matches for the Fiji Under-20 and the Fiji Warriors, but this still isn’t enough.

O’Connor says they want more matches with international teams to prepare them for upcoming matches like the WRPC and Under-20 championship in July.
