Fiji born Volavola tipped to start for Waratahs

Fiji born Volavola tipped to start for Waratahs
Fiji born flyhalf, Ben Volavola is tipped to start for the Waratahs against the Reds this Saturday.

This will be a dream story turning into a reality for 22 year old Volavola who attended Veiuto Primary School from 1996 to 1999, and grew up in Tamavua and Lami.

He then moved to Australia with his mum, Ema Volavola.

And he is on top of the world even before the team naming as Reds flyhalf, Quade Cooper had to google "Ben Volavola" to study his trial footage.

With Berrick Barnes set to miss the match, Volavola is set to get his dream start.

Speaking to Fijivillage from Sydney, Volavola said he is blessed to have an opportunity to finally play for the team that he always looked up to.


Meanwhile, Quade Cooper said Volavola is a mystery the Reds would have to study hard to solve. 

The Waratahs and Reds match kicks off at 8.40pm this Saturday. 

At 6.35pm, the Hurricanes will take on the Blues.

Meanwhile, at 6.35pm tomorrow, the Highlanders will play the Chiefs and the Rebels will take on the Brumbies at 8.40pm.
