Fiji Water Flying Fijians coach Mick Byrne has revealed that he has been in talks with the Highlanders Fijian trio Timoci Tavatavanawai, Jacob Kneepkens-Ratumaitavuki and Jona Nareki for possible chances of them representing the Flying Fijians in the future if there is a change in their contract with the New Zealand Rugby Union.
While speaking to fijivillage News, Byrne says they have had talks before but unfortunately, their contracts with NZRU require them to be available for the All Blacks.
He says he has spoken to them in the past and nothing has changed as they are just honouring their contracts.
