As we count down the hours to another weekend, sporting fans will no doubt be focused on a number of events, from rugby union, to international 7s action, and there’s the rugby league in Australia when the Fiji Bati take on the PNG Kumuls.
The big one on the front page though of The Fiji Times’ edition for Saturday, June 25 is on politics.

The main picture on the front page is of Flying Fijians centre Semi Radradra who is in the country. He was cheering for his younger brother at the Tailevu Zone athletics competition at the National Stadium in Suva.
