The Dominion Brothers under-20 sevens rugby team is focused on both sporting excellence and the ability to support their families as they prepare for the third leg of the U20 7s tournament organized by the Fiji Sports Council. Team manager Manasa Moto emphasized that the players are motivated by the potential financial rewards that come from excelling in rugby, which is increasingly seen as a viable career path.
Moto expressed pride in their previous achievements, noting that the team delivered an impressive performance in the tournament’s opening round at Thomson Park in Navua earlier this month. He highlighted the integral part of instilling discipline within the team, reinforcing the importance of maintaining composure on and off the field.
As the team heads into the Savusavu leg of the tournament, preparations have been going smoothly. Moto stated that the players are eager to compete, seeing this series as a valuable opportunity provided by the Fiji Sports Council and Fiji Rugby.
However, the competition will intensify as teams from Savusavu and Labasa join the fray, making for an exciting atmosphere in Vanua Levu. The Dominion Brothers currently hold a strong position in the tournament, having secured victories in both prior legs in Navua and Sigatoka.
This news highlights the dedication and ambition of young athletes striving to make a name for themselves in rugby while also prioritizing their families’ well-being. Their journey reflects the broader opportunities that sports can create, not just for the players, but for their communities as well. As the tournament progresses, it serves as an inspiration for many aspiring athletes in Fiji.
