The Digicel Bula Boys have undergone significant alterations to their roster for the upcoming second round of the FIFA World Cup Oceania qualifiers set to take place in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea. Coach Rob Sherman has had to adapt the squad due to various factors including injuries, suspensions, and disciplinary issues affecting key players.
Key players Samuela Kautoga and Epeli Leiroti will not participate due to injuries. In response, Sherman has brought in Scott Wara and Mosese Nabose to strengthen the team. Additionally, Antonio Tuivuna has been selected to replace Aporosa Yaca, who is suspended. Veteran goalkeeper Simione Tamanisau has joined the team in place of Isikeli Seva, who has been sidelined due to disciplinary reasons.
Despite these challenges, Coach Sherman remains optimistic about his team’s ability to adapt and perform well. The players have been focusing on their tactics and strategies in preparation for their critical matches against Papua New Guinea and New Caledonia, with the ultimate goal of securing a spot in the semifinals.
The Bula Boys are set to face Papua New Guinea on November 14 and New Caledonia on November 17. Currently, the team is training in Ba, gearing up for these important matches.
With a spirit of resilience and adaptability, the Bula Boys aim to overcome their recent setbacks and remain hopeful about achieving their qualification aspirations. This determination highlights the competitive nature of the team and their commitment to success in international football.
