Rugby is something that changes the lifestyle of Fijians and it can even scorch the nation as people do extraordinary things for rugby.

This was highlighted by President Ratu Wiliame Katonivere while presenting the Fiji Water Flying Fijians jersey to the players at the Tanoa International Hotel in Nadi.

Ratu Wiliame thanked the players for their hard work and wished the team well in their game.

He also encouraged the team to build up that wall, make it unbreakable, and make it strong so that no other team can come and break down the wall that Fiji has made.

Fiji will play Tonga today at 3pm at Lautoka's Churchill Park.
