ACT Brumbies player Judah Saumaisue is set to potentially make his Super Rugby debut today at home against the Swire Shipping Fijian Drua. For Saumaisue, this match holds special significance as he views it as a dream come true, particularly because it takes place in his homeland of Fiji.
Reflecting on the excitement of playing in front of family and friends, he expressed, “It’s a dream come true to be playing in Fiji, first game as a Super Rugby player and it’s going to be a hit-up, getting together on the field.” The Nawaikama, Gau native has joined the Brumbies after his time with the Melbourne Rebels, and he has urged his relatives to come out to support him, especially as his parents are unable to attend the match.
The highly anticipated game is set to kick off at 3:35 PM at the HFC Bank Stadium in Suva, promising an exhilarating atmosphere both on and off the field.
This debut could serve as a significant milestone for Saumaisue, and it highlights the growing presence of Pacific Islander players in Super Rugby, showcasing their talents on an international stage. It’s a moment of pride not just for him, but also for the Fijian community.
