Fiji Rugby Union has given the nod to two of the top coaches in the Colonial Cup competition to lead the Fiji Warriors and Fiji Barbarians teams in the up-coming IRB Pacific Rugby Cup competition.

Crusaders winning coach Iliesa Tanivula will lead the Air Pacific Fiji Warriors and will be assisted by Highlanders coach Josua Toakula.

The Knights Etuate Waqa will be the head coach for the Air Pacific Fiji Barbarians side with Sharks's mentor Ifereimi Tawake named as forwards coach.

Meanwhile National coach Ilivasi Tabua has named 60 players, 30 each for both teams and they will march into camp on Wednesday.

The IRB Pacific Rugby Cup competition will kickoff next Friday with Fiji Warriors playing their opening match against Tautahi Gold from Tonga and Fiji Barbarians travelling to Samoa to face the Savai Samoa.
