The Vodafone Fijiana XV squad will begin their training next week in preparation for their highly anticipated Test match against the Wallaroos scheduled for May 3 in Suva. New head coach Ioan Cunningham expresses enthusiasm for the opportunity to work with his players ahead of this critical clash.
Cunningham emphasized the importance of engaging with a broad pool of talent as he evaluates potential players for the final roster. “The net is cast pretty wide at the moment, and we want to see as much of the talent available for Fijiana,” he stated. “As we get closer to preparation, we will narrow that selection down.” The upcoming match with the Wallaroos is seen as an essential step in fortifying the team ahead of the Women’s Rugby World Cup later this year.
This match will be significant not only for establishing the strength of the Fijiana side but also for building team cohesion and refining game strategies. The clash will take place at HFC Bank Stadium in Suva at 5 PM, where Cunningham and his team are eager to showcase their skills and competitive spirit on home soil.
Cunningham’s focus on talent identification and nurturing potential recruits aims to blend Fiji’s exciting playing style with a more structured approach, setting the stage for a successful World Cup campaign. With optimism high and the commitment from both players and coaching staff evident, the Fijiana XV looks forward to representing Fiji’s aspirations on the international rugby stage.
This article reflects a renewed sense of excitement for women’s rugby in Fiji, highlighting the team’s potential and the importance of support from the Fijian community.
