4FJ Fish Smart: William Ryder

It is every boy's dream in the village to don the Fiji Rugby 7s shirt. For William Ryder, that dream came true and eventually landing him an overseas contract, letting him see the world.
But when rugby is over, when the final whistle is blown, what happens? For Ryder, the road led back to the village, where he started and the place he loves most. It also led him back to fishing to support his family. Although the problem is that fishing is not as it used to be.
Hit play to hear what the rugby legend hopes for the future of his fishing grounds.
Vinaka William!
