Fiji Water Flying Fijians Strength and Conditioning coach, Naca Cawanibuka

One of the most powerful and beautiful bonds is when your brother who knows your battles and struggles hands you the battle garment you both strive for.

These were the words of Fiji Water Flying Fijians Strength and Conditioning coach, Naca Cawanibuka during the jersey presentation yesterday.

Cawanibuka says from here on, you stand on his shoulders and represent him and all your loved ones back in Fiji and around the world.

These words rang even louder as an injured Caleb Muntz was pictured presenting Teti Tela with the Number 10 jersey.
