Kalou has something special to offer this RWC

Flying Fijians lock forward Sekonaia Kalou has something special to offer in the Rugby World Cup.

With just 4 days left for the RWC to kick off in New Zealand, the 27 year old is the only player in the 30 member team that has represented Fiji in three different sports.

Kalou played for the Fiji U-20 Basketball team in the Oceania Championship in 2004 when he was still at Suva Grammar School and his first World Cup was in the Fiji Men's Netball team in the tournament which was played at home in 2005.

Better known as Sekonaia Qaraniqio in his rugby career, he moved to New Zealand in 2006 where he played for the 2nd Division North Otago side.

He played alongside fellow Fijian player Viliame Veikoso and made his way into the 1st Division Otago team in 2007.

He made his International debut for Fiji in June 2010 against Australia and played in all of Fiji's matches for the 2010 PNC and was selected to tour with the Fijian XV in November 2010.

In the PNC this year, his last minute run-away try against Samoa captured the eyes of selectors and although he did not play in the last two Test matches against Tonga because of injury, his past form was enough to make the trip to NZ.

For the Veisabasaba man from Nadroga, rugby runs in the family with younger brother Api Ratuniyarawa also a Fiji Warriors rep and now playing club rugby in NZ while another brother Alipate Bete plays for Suva in provincial rugby.

For Kalou, he knows his brothers will look up to him to set an example for them but for rugby fans, it will not be an easy outing knowing what is expected of the team.
