Aminiasi Naituyaga Junior, the son of the late Aminiasi Naituyaga Senior will start at number 8 for Malolo in the Skipper Cup semi-final tomorrow at the HFC Bank Stadium in Suva.
Malolo Rugby President, Ratu Jone Tuilawa says Naituyaga has been a standout performer this season, showing exceptional skill in both attack and defence.
Ratu Jone says the 28-year-old is expected to execute his role well in what will be one of the biggest matches in the team’s history.
The President says this year marks a historic milestone for the Malolo side as it is their first time reaching the Skipper Cup semi-final.
He also highlighted that the team made history earlier in the competition by defeating Nadroga for the first time in a round match.
Ratu Jone says the squad’s success is the result of consistent hard work and team unity, with the core group of players having trained together since 2023.
