The former Fijian rugby union international scored 90 tries in 131 appearances on the wing and in the centres in Australia's top flight, earning him a cult following.

These days he is still a sporting icon, so when CSU coach Dave Conyers was looking to organise someone to present jumpers to the Lautoka under 19s Provincial Team when they tour in September, he turned to the 'Fijian flyer'.

Not only did Nadruku agree, but he's bringing another Nadruku who has shown talent on the rugby field with him.

"The marquee game for the tour is on Saturday against an invitation 15 and they'll have quite a few Indigenous boys. I've just found out Noa Nadruku's son is going to be playing for us in that side," Conyers enthused.

"I've got him up to present the jerseys to the Fiji boys as part of their preparation, so how cool is it that his son is playing? He was a champion - he's got his poster up all over Fiji still, he's a national icon over there."

But meeting Nadruku and seeing his son - also called Noa - in action at will be just one of many highlights of the Lautoka tour to Bathurst.

The foundations of the tour were built while Conyers was on holiday in Fiji and delivering 30 kilograms of rugby kit donated by CSU players to a club in Lautoka.

Coach Sirelli Buli - who was Fiji's national sevens coach when they won the 2005 World Cup - mentioned the under 19s were keen to tour.

"I asked them where they wanted to do a tour and they wanted to go to Australia, so I said 'Let's talk about it'. It sort of sprung up from there," Conyers said.

"The Lautoka Rugby Union is the oldest union in Fji and was established by he British during the colonial era in the 1950s."

Fundraising both in Bathurst and Fiji has helped the tour come to fruition.

It will last for 10 days beginning September 5 and include three games - one against an under 19 Bathurst select, one against CSU and the contest with an Invitation Australian Indigenous Under 19 squad at Ashwood Park.

"On the first Saturday they are here we are going to put together an invitation Bathurst under 19 team together. So we'll have some Bulldogs colts, younger CSU boys, maybe a couple of Scots All Saints boys and Stannies boys together," Conyers said.

"It will be great for those boys as well as the Lautoka boys. Really a lot of these boys, their only opportunity to get ahead in life really is through sport.

"We are also going to set them up with the university to get some information on scholarships and how they can come back as a student.

"They are staying on the campus for the 10 days, the CSU players will take them under their wings while they are here, so it's going to be a really good education for them.

"A lot of them will never get another trip like this in their life ... a lot of them just don't have the resources."
