As the Northern Hemisphere tour approaches in November, Semi Radradra, a key player for FIJI Water Flying Fijians, has suggested that they might not wear the white jersey again. Radradra, along with fellow senior players Waisea Nayacalevu and Levani Botia, recently addressed issues related to alleged mismanagement within the Fiji Rugby Union during a social media podcast. He expressed concern that their decision to speak out could signify the end of their time in the iconic white jersey.
“We have now put our careers on the line to speak up for our brothers who wear the white jersey,” Radradra stated in Fijian. “We expect ripples after speaking out.”
He added, “Most likely we have worn the white jersey for the last time and may never again. Some things we have said will be felt at the management level. But we are doing it for the betterment of 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.
