Former Chiefs winger Asaeli Tikoirotuma has had a huge impact on the Marist Brothers High School under-18 rugby team ever since he rendered his help to his school.

Tikoirotuma helped the Marist team that defeated the Suva Grammar School 17-15 last week during the Vodafone Southern Zone Secondary Schools Rugby under 18 third-place play-off.

Tikoirotuma is also a former Flying Fijians centre, has played his cards right, and knows that Bua Central College has nothing to lose when they face Marist in Labasa.

Marist will take on the northern giants Bua with the winner to go through as the third-seeded team from the Southern Zone.

Marist U18 manager, Edward Chetty says they are looking forward and the job is not over yet.

Chetty says they have learned lessons from the previous games while the team has a common goal to achieve.

He adds that the support of the school and the old boys has been their biggest strength.

Marist will play Bua at 2.30pm on Saturday at Subrail Park in Labasa.
