Young rugby players looking to play for the Flying Fijians should set their sights on being part of the Swire Shipping Fijian Drua as coach Mick Byrne believes that is an easier pathway.

He has identified a number of players from the Drua team that have the potential to make the Flying Fijians.

Byrne will be meeting with Flying Fijians head coach Vern Cotter to present names of possible players that are ready for selection.

The Drua will meet the Chiefs in their final Super Rugby Pacific match for the season at 3pm Saturday in Lautoka.

All platinum tickets have been booked while the $95 tickets are selling very fast.

The silver and bronze tickets which cost $35 and $20 are still available.

The $20 tickets can only be purchased at the Lautoka City Council.
