Vodafone Fiji Under 20 centre Sivaniolo Lumelume is eager to showcase his talent at the upcoming Oceania Rugby Under 20 Challenge in Auckland.

The 19-year-old says he is excited about the opportunity of representing his country as this is his first ever international tournament representing Fiji and it is a dream come true to be playing against his Pacific brothers.

He says his family is proud of his achievement as he is the first from his village to represent Fiji at an international tournament and he vows not to let them down.

Lumelume says he is also aiming to secure a professional rugby contract to help his family.

The former Nasinu Secondary School student says he always looks up to Flying Fijians and Swire Shipping Fijian Drua halfback Frank Lomani as his role model because of his work ethic on and off the field.

The Fiji Under 20s will be participating in the Oceania Rugby Under 20 Challenge that will be held from the 26th of this month to the 6th of March.
