Fiji Airways Fijiana 15s Captain Sereima Leweniqila says the COVID-19 lockdown and restrictions have enabled her to spend more time with her family which something she hasn't been doing for a long time because of work and her rugby career.

The 2019 Fiji Airways Fijiana 15s Player of the Year says during the lockdown she has been in debates and conversations with her father in regards to her spiritual life.

She says to keep her fitness level up, she stays in touch with a few of her rugby friends exchanging workout programs and also using bodyweight apps.

Leweniqila says that she misses playing rugby with her teammates but she believes its a good timeout for them and when they'll return they will be more hungry and appreciative that they get to play rugby again.

She adds once the restrictions are lifted she will have a big feast with her family and friend just being grateful that they have survived through the struggles of the COVID-19 crisis.
