FIJIAN rugby superstars Semi Radradra, Vereniki Goneva, Viliame Mata and Frank Lomani are some of the likely candidates floating on the mind of Fiji Airways Flying Fijians head coach John McKee as potential candidates for the nations’ top 15s award.

These players were part of the Flying Fijians team that defeated France in the historical test match last November.

With the Fiji Rugby Awards night looming, the challenge is for McKee in selecting one player from the flamboyant side that defeated France for the top rugby award.

Olympics gold medallist Leone Nakawa was Fiji’s Rugby best player last season with Fiji Airways national 7s skipper Kalione Nasoko winning the best 7s player of the year.

The awards night is scheduled on February 8 at the Grand Pacific Hotel.
