Rocco ready to face All Blacks

Rocco ready to face All Blacks
Fijian born Semesa Rokoduguni

Fijian born Semesa Rokoduguni will be the first British Army Soldier to play for England since Tim Rodber 15 years ago.

Rokoduguni was part of the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards who were deployed in Afghanistan three years ago.

There he witnessed the horrors of war first-hand when a marine lost both his legs after stepping on an explosive and it is a memory Rokoduguni carries with him.

The 27-year-old from Naselai, Tailevu said every time he joined camp he always thinks about the incident that happened where the marine soldier was badly injured.

Rokoduguni added running out in Twickenham to play against the All Blacks will be remarkable moment for him as his family will be on his mind.

Rokoduguni is the younger brother of former national soccer rep Waisake Sabutu and Coca Cola games sprinter Seleima Balevesi.

The All Blacks will play England at 3.30am this Sunday.

In other test matches this Sunday, Vodafone Flying Fijians will play France at 5.45am, Italy face Samoa at 2am, Wales host Australia at 3.30am while Ireland meet South Africa at 6.30am.
