He says they will be using this competition as our build-up for the Junior World Championship and he believes the players will gain a lot of exposure and experience playing these top teams in the competition which starts on Sunday.

Rawaqa says we are the new team in the Super Rugby Competition and their first game is against the Blues which is their focus right now.

Motikai Murray has been named the captain of the side.
