Lote Raikabula Weds Sweetheart

New Zealand Sevens rover Lote Raikabula tied the knot with his long time sweetheart Ngaire Jean Konise at the Centenary Church in Suva today.

Both reside in New Zealand and met each other before Raikabula was drafted into the New Zealand 7s squad by Coach Gordon Tietjens.

Raikabula played a key role for New Zealand in this season's International Rugby Board World Sevens Series and helped them win the overall crown earlier this month.

His team-mate DJ Forbes, who is also the New Zealand Sevens captain, attended the wedding to give his blessings to the couple.
