Australians invited under the Pacific Brotherhood to become Flying Fijian fans in the spirit of Pacific vuvale ahead of the Rugby World Cup 2023 quarter finals following a heartbreaking exit for the Wallabies.

Tourism Fiji is helping cheer our Pacific neighbours in the true spirit of Pacific vuvale as after 16 years Fiji has secured its place in the quarterfinals to face England in Marseille.

Tourism Fiji in a statement highlighted that it's time for Australia to support and celebrate the rich rugby camaraderie that exists between Wallabies and the Flying Fijians.

Wallabies legend Lote Tuqiri says that he will drop the green and gold for the black and white of Fiji as his nephew Emosi Tuqiri is part of the Fiji Water Flying Fijians Squad and he is proud to see Flying Fijians performance.

Tuqiri says they have earned their place in the Rugby World Cup and it’s an honour to stand with a team that embodies the heart of Fiji through unwavering dedication and resilience to the support.

According to Tourism Fiji data, Australians made up 41% of all visitors to Fiji in August alone this year.
