Fiji Bulikula is set to gear up for an exciting showdown against Fetu Samoa this weekend in the Pacific Bowl final, taking place in Auckland. The stakes are high, with the winner earning a coveted spot in the upcoming Rugby League World Cup.
Coach Joe Rabele has made a strategic modification to the team, introducing Sereana Maragi as a prop, who replaces Aliti Namoce in the starting lineup. Skipper Talei Holmes will continue to lead the team from the lock position while Asenaca Diranuve is named as the 18th player.
Fiji Bulikula reached the final after a solid performance, defeating Cook Islands 18-6, while Fetu Samoa showcased their strength with a decisive 30-16 win against Tonga at the HFC Bank Stadium in Suva last weekend.
The highly anticipated match is scheduled for 4:35 PM on Saturday at Go Media Stadium in Auckland, and it promises to be a thrilling contest.
This final represents a significant opportunity for Fiji Bulikula, not just for the immediate goal of World Cup qualification, but as a showcase of their talent on a larger stage. Fans and players alike are eager to see how this team represents their nation and continues its journey in rugby league.
