It has always been a childhood goal for me to play for Fiji - Hetet

New Flying Fijians prop Haereiti Hetet says it was always his childhood goal to play for Fiji.

Hetet who was born in New Zealand is the son of former Flying Fijians prop, Joeli Veitayaki and has played for the New Zealand Maori against Fiji last year. He currently plays for Bay of Plenty.

Hetet also has Māori heritage on his mum's side.

He says growing up, he always supported Fiji, just because it was a part of him, and watching them play every game - whether it's rugby or other sports, he would always back Fiji.

Hetet adds he had trialled for Fiji Under 20s back in 2016.

Fiji's first match in the Autumn Nations Cup is against France on 15th November, then they will face Italy on the 21st of November, and will play Scotland on the 28th of November.
