Emotional Wainiqolo dedicates Flying Fijians win to late father, mother and wife

An emotional Jiuta Wainiqolo has dedicated the Fiji Water Flying Fijians 29-14 win over Scotland, to his late father.

Wainiqolo also dedicated it to his wife Fiona, back in France who is pregnant with their first child.

He also dedicated the win to his mother Ulamila Wainiqolo who was watching from the grandstand as well as his family for all their support.

Wainiqolo also posted on facebook that it was an honour to wear the jersey.

He says there is no greater feeling than representing his country on home soil and coming away with the win.

The winger says every cheer, every prayer, and every flag waving in the crowd means a lot to him, and he is grateful for the support, the energy, and the love.

He adds this one is for our people - vinaka vakalevu Viti.

The explosive winger was very dangerous on attack and was rewarded with a try in the 58th minute.

The Flying Fijians will face Tonga in their next game in the Pacific Nations Cup on August 30th.
