Pacific Rugby Players Welfare founder and former Samoan rugby international, Dan Leo

Get your act together, we are ready here in the Pacific.

This was the response from Pacific Rugby Players Welfare founder and former Samoan rugby international, Dan Leo on what he would tell World Rugby if he was standing in front of them when asked by fijivillage News.

Leo says they want World Rugby to do what the people want, as they are stifling the game and trying to look after each other in the boys club.

He says it is not always about money, it is about enjoyment and the messages of rugby spreading those values.

Leo says World Rugby should give them opportunities not just as Pacific nations but as Tier 2 and 3 nations to be able to progress.

He adds we are ready here in the Pacific to promote the game to the global status it deserves.

You can watch the full interview with Dan Leo on the fijivillage Facebook page at 7 tonight.
