Fiji Rugby Union General Manager High Performance, Simon Raiwalui they have an option of getting players who are not from Fiji for the Fijian Drua.

Raiwalui says they are not looking at doing that at the moment but they have that option if there is not enough depth in certain positions.

He has also revealed that around 20 players have been confirmed for the Fijian Drua so far and they hope to confirm the full squad soon.

Raiwalui says they have had difficulties with their preparation due to COVID-19 in Fiji which is why they are going into camp a month early compared to other sides.

He says they understand and appreciate the difficulties the players have faced but they will be putting together a team that will be ready to perform next year.

The team is aiming to start camp in Australia by November.
