Setareki Turagacoke is excited to represent the Fiji Water Flying Fijians as he prepares for his second game this weekend. The impressive 18-year-old athlete was pleasantly surprised to receive a call-up so early in his career to wear the iconic white jersey.
Originating from Dakuinuku Village in Tailevu, Turagacoke shared with FijiLive that this opportunity means a great deal to him. “It is a big opportunity for me to be here with the boys,” he expressed. Initially, he had been focused on his career in Top 14 rugby and never anticipated making this leap so soon.
For Turagacoke, this moment is the realization of a childhood dream. He is determined to seize it and perform to the best of his abilities. Although he will start the game on the bench, he is prepared to step in as a valuable replacement for the injured Leone Rotusolia.
This young athlete’s journey highlights the potential for growth within Fiji’s rugby talent pool and serves as an inspiring reminder that dreams can materialize with hard work and dedication. Whether he’s learning from experienced teammates or contributing on the field, Turagacoke’s involvement with the team is a promising sign of what’s to come in Fiji rugby.
