As the Northern Hemisphere tour approaches in November, Semi Radradra, a standout player for the FIJI Water Flying Fijians, has indicated that he and his teammates may have worn the white jersey for the last time. Radradra, along with senior players Waisea Nayacalevu and Levani Botia, recently addressed concerns regarding alleged mismanagement within the Fiji Rugby Union during a social media podcast.
Radradra expressed that their decision to speak out could have significant consequences for their careers. “We have now put our careers on the line to speak up for our brothers who wear the white jersey,” he stated in Fijian.
He also remarked, “We expect ripples after speaking out” and suggested that their statements may lead to changes at the management level. “It’s possible we have worn the white jersey for the last time and may never again,” he added, emphasizing their commitment to improving Fiji Rugby.
The Flying Fijians are set to compete against Scotland on November 3, Wales on November 11, and Ireland on November 24 during this year’s Northern Tour.
