The achievements of the Fiji Water Flying Fijians and the Vodafone Fijiana XVs teams have made them role models for the younger generations, inspiring them to work hard and pursue careers in rugby.

This was highlighted by President Ratu Wiliame Katonivere when the two teams presented their itatau at the State House in preparation for their upcoming respective campaigns.

Ratu Wiliame proudly acknowledged the remarkable achievements of our rugby teams, stating that they have brought immense pride to all Fijians.

He further expressed his gratitude to the Fiji Rugby Union and administrators, coaches and team officials for their commitment and hard work in nurturing rugby players to participate internationally.

The Flying Fijians will take on Samoa at 6pm this Friday at the HFC Bank Stadium in Suva in round 1 of the Pacific Nations Cup, while the Vodafone Fijiana XVs are preparing for a series of international matches, including the upcoming WXV 3 tournament in Dubai next month.
