The Macuata men’s rugby team is focused on their aspirations for the 2025 season. In a recent interview with SUNsports, Jioji Vuakaca, the vice-president of the Macuata Rugby Union, expressed confidence in the team’s potential to defeat any opponent on their best day.
Reflecting on the challenges of the previous season, Vuakaca noted the team’s efforts to avoid relegation from the Skipper Cup, particularly the significant victory over Tailevu at Labasa’s Subrail Park. As they look ahead, he emphasized the importance of maintaining consistent performance in next season’s competition. A key goal is to secure an impeccable home record, which would provide a strong foundation for the season.
Vuakaca highlighted the competitive nature of the Macuata Rugby Union club and mentioned that several players have been identified and included in the extended squad. He believes the players demonstrated their competitive spirit last season and are capable of challenging top-tier teams. He also underscored the significance of pre-season training as vital for solid preparation and advised players to be mindful of their diets during the festive season.
On a related note, the Macuata women’s rugby team has set its sights on winning the Royal Tea Ranadi Cup next season, after reaching the semi-finals against Kadavu this season.
This strategic mindset from both the men’s and women’s teams showcases their commitment to growth and excellence in the upcoming rugby seasons, providing an inspiring outlook for the future of Macuata rugby. With both teams focusing on improvement and strong performances, fans can look forward to an exciting season ahead.
