Fiji U20 rugby representative Moses Armstrong-Ravula has expressed his enthusiasm for returning to the national squad, particularly for the upcoming Oceania U20 Championship, where he will have the chance to represent his country on home soil. This marks a significant moment for Moses, as he is eager to reconnect with his teammates and embrace the cultural experiences of playing rugby in Fiji.
Moses, the younger brother of Fijian Drua flyhalf Isaiah Armstrong-Ravula, had to miss the Super Rugby Pacific U20 tournament earlier this year. His yearning to join the national team once again has driven him to overcome personal challenges, now that he resides in Brisbane. “It’s good to come back. I was waiting all year. I moved to Brizzy and was waiting to come back. See all the boys again from last year,” he reflected, emphasizing the importance of both personal and team dynamics in his journey.
His older brother, Isaiah, who has carved out a successful path in professional rugby, has been a source of inspiration. Moses aims to leverage his experience in the Queensland Premier Cup, where he is currently competing, to help the Fiji U20s perform strongly in the Oceania Championship. The tournament is significant as Fiji will be looking to defend their title against rivals such as Tonga, Canada, and Samoa.
This new chapter for Moses is reflective of a broader trend in Fijian rugby, where the emergence of young talents is shaping the future of the sport. With athletes like Moses taking center stage, there is a renewed sense of hope and possibility for Fijian rugby on international platforms. The upcoming championship represents not just an opportunity for individual growth, but also the chance to contribute significantly to the legacy of Fijian rugby.
Overall, the landscape looks promising as Fiji’s youth continue to step up, showcasing their skills and dedication on an international stage.
