Written By : Arvind K Dayal . Thank you Fiji Sun for the excellent editorial and and “by the way” pieces (FS 13/10).

Changing culture

No Comment

Written By : Apenisa Naigulevu, Tamavua . Coach Ilie Tabua (FS 12/01) seems to be confused about the culture he deals with, within the Fiji Rugby team that he mentors.
