Ba Rugby Union is gearing up for an exciting mid-season boost with the anticipated signing of former Fiji 7s player Joji Nasova. While Nasova won’t participate in the opening match against Suva this weekend, Ba Rugby Union secretary Pastor Gabby Kautoga has confirmed that he is already in touch with the coaching staff and may join the team for the ongoing Skipper Cup campaign soon.
Kautoga emphasized the significance of Nasova’s arrival, noting that it not only enhances the team’s tactical capabilities but also inspires local players, many of whom come from farming backgrounds. He stated, “It’s something big for the boys. They know that while playing, they can achieve more.” This sentiment echoes the rise of community support manifested in their upcoming match against Suva, which is set to take place at a sold-out Govind Park, a venue recently refurbished after being damaged by Cyclone Winston.
This opening match is especially important as it symbolizes resilience and renewal in the community, while also highlighting the dedication of local players who strive to make a name for themselves on the rugby field. The enthusiasm surrounding the game has not only rallied fans but also serves as a testament to what can be achieved through hard work and determination.
In echoing previous sentiments from Kautoga, the addition of Nasova to the Ba Rugby roster continues to be viewed as a pivotal moment for both the players and the community, demonstrating a hopeful outlook as they embark on this season of growth in Fiji’s rugby landscape.
The Ba Rugby Union’s commitment to fostering local talent and enhancing skills through the introduction of seasoned players like Nasova provides a bright future for rugby in Ba. Fans and community members can anticipate an electrifying season ahead, fueled by unity and passionate support.
