Caleb Muntz, the outgoing fly-half for the Swire Shipping Fijian Drua, is enthusiastic about the possibility of representing the FIJI Water Flying Fijians once again during the upcoming July Tests. Muntz is eagerly awaiting the final selection of players by head coach Mick Byrne for the two crucial matches against Australia and Scotland.
Muntz expressed his commitment to achieving a place on the squad, emphasizing that since his move from New Zealand to play age-grade rugby, earning the “white jumper” has been his top priority. He is particularly excited about the prospect of competing against tier-one nations, noting that the match against Australia is especially significant prior to their Lions Test.
Reflecting on his past performance, Muntz highlighted his instrumental role in the Flying Fijians’ recent triumph over Wales during the Autumn International Tests, where he was named Player of the Match after contributing to a 24-19 victory. His solid performance included four penalty conversions alongside a try, showcasing his skills on an international stage.
In addition to his current aspirations for national duty, Muntz recently played a key role in the Drua’s 38-7 victory against Western Force, a match held at their home ground in Lautoka as part of the Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific competition. This win is particularly meaningful as it reflects the team’s resilience and determination, contributing to a positive atmosphere around the Drua despite challenges they faced earlier in the season.
Building on his recent successes, Muntz remains optimistic and committed to his future, looking forward to proving his capabilities on both domestic and international platforms. His journey and continued dedication not only inspire his teammates but also resonate deeply with Fijian fans, offering a bright outlook for the future of Fijian rugby.
As Muntz prepares for this next chapter, it symbolizes the potential for growth and success for him and his compatriots in the sport.
