Rugby talent goldmine

WE should all be happy for Kitione Taliga because he is indeed going out to greener pastures.

With the goldmine of talented rugby players in Fiji for both the 15s and 7s, any departures for greener pastures should not affect Fijian rugby.

Unless of course, if the Fiji Rugby Union contracts our local-based players in order to hold them back in Fiji.

Rugby is a sport that is helping Fijian players secure overseas rugby contracts .

I believe the more Fijians participate overseas in national or club levels, the more the opportunity for greener pastures.

We are proud of all Fijian ruggers playing overseas and a big vinaka vakalevu to all our current Fiji players who have been approached to play overseas, but declined for love of country.
