Tokyo Olympics gold medal winner Napolioni Bolaca will have to fight for his place as the Fijian Drua five eighth incumbent as announcements were made today for the five new signings of the new Super Rugby Pacific franchise.

“We have other flyhalves as well but Napolioni is a targeted 10,” Fiji Rugby Union High Performance general manager Simon Raiwalui said.
