Marika Koroibete who made a name for himself in the NRL and is now an established star for the Wallabies, aims to inspire the next generation of Fijian children to follow their dreams.

Koroibete will be joined by fellow Fijians Isi Naisarani and Frank Lomani when the Rebels face the Hurricanes at 7.05pm tomorrow.

In other matches, the Western Force will face the Highlanders at 9.45pm tomorrow, the Blues will take on the Waratahs at 4.35pm Saturday, the Chiefs will face the Brumbies at 7.05pm Saturday and the Reds will host the Crusaders at 9.45pm Saturday.
