Emosi Nuku, a talented winger for Fiji’s Under-20 rugby team and a notable alumnus of Marist Brothers High School, has publicly declared his support for his former school as they excel in this year’s Deans competition. With Marist Brothers maintaining an unbeaten streak after three rounds in the Southern Zone competition, they are emerging as strong contenders for the title.
Nuku, now proudly wearing the national U20 jersey, expressed his confidence in the current Marist players. He specifically highlighted former teammate Asi Tui-lagi, who serves as the team’s first five-eighth, affirming his trust in their ability to showcase impressive performances both on and off the field. “I fully trust them that they will show some good moves in the field and especially in and out of the field,” he stated.
Building upon Nuku’s encouraging remarks, the sentiments surrounding youth rugby in Fiji remain vibrant and optimistic. The growing interest in school competitions, along with development initiatives like the Fijian Drua Academy, play a crucial role in nurturing potential talents from schools such as Marist. This supportive environment fosters not only the athletes’ skills but also enhances the overall rugby culture in Fiji, inspiring future generations.
As the competition progresses, the hopes of supporters and alumni for Marist Brothers High School continue to rise, embodying a shared sense of pride and anticipation for the future of Fijian rugby. Nuku’s belief in his school’s current players encapsulates the spirit of camaraderie and aspiration that runs deep within the rugby community.
