The Official Fijian Rugby thread

you fuckers have yours :P
anyhoo fiji just named their technical coaches for the 8N

Daryl Gibson {NZ} - Coached Glasgow, Crusaders, NZ Maori, NSW Waratahs, Samoa
Jason Ryan {NZ} - Coached Canterbury, Crusaders, NZ U20’s, NZ Black Ferns
Glen Jackson {NZ} - 9 years International referee
Richard Gray {SCOTLAND} - Coached Borders, Scotland, South Africa


Gibson the weakest link, Jackson the strongest, good to have a backs coach who is also a good goal kicker himself and a referee who knows the laws..don't know much about Gray but cotter trusts him

i will be broadcasting the skipper cup today between Namosi and Nadroga here http://walesi.rf.gd/ ..look at some of the names :)

TRIVIA: not single player or coach whose name doesn't end with a vowel

Wasn't expecting to see Mata included. He's meant to be out for 8 weeks isn't he?

yeah bit shocking for us as well, i think he might be fit by late november and may play the last pool match

[Glaston]

How many of that squad have played meaningfull games in the last few months ?

[Margin__Walker]

Depends on you definition of meaningful, but Tuisue has played lots.

[stemoc]

all the local boys have been playing skipper cup rugby the last few weeks, the 3 kiwi boys have been playing for their Mitre10 teams, volavola has played 3 ProD2 games this season..not sure about hte 3 otehrProD2 players if this wasn't a pandemic year, we woul not be picking prod2 players ..only shame is not picking Veitokani who plays for Namosi in skipper cup and Jone Manu who plays for Suva, 2 very good playmakers and ofcourse enele Malele who played for the fiji team against the barbarians last year
