It was a dream come true for Nadroga flanker, Manueli Ratuniyarawa after he was selected to represent Fiji in the Autumn Nations Cup.

Ratuniyarawa told Fiji Rugby that at the starting of this year, he was just a village boy playing rugby in the village but he kept working hard and he is so fortunate to have been included in the Flying Fijians squad.

Ratuniyarawa adds before he took rugby as pleasure and didn’t look after himself well but this year he has managed to take control of himself and be more discipline.

The 26-year-old is the cousin of gold medal-winning 7s star, Jasa Veremalua.

He thanked Nadroga Rugby President Tiko Matawalu for scouting him and giving him a chance to play for the Stallions this season.

Fiji's first match in the Autumn Nations Cup is against France on 15th November, then they will face Italy on the 21st of November, and will play Scotland on the 28th of November.
