Setareki Turagacoke is reveling in an incredible opportunity as he joins the Fiji Water Flying Fijians for his first international call-up. The impressive 18-year-old, hailing from Dakuinuku Village in Tailevu, was pleasantly surprised to receive the call so early in his career to don the national white jersey.
Expressing his excitement, Turagacoke remarked, “It is a big opportunity for me to be here with the boys.” Initially focused on making an impact in the Top 14 league, he never anticipated this momentous step at such a young age. The former student of Lelean Memorial School shared that playing for Fiji had always been a childhood dream, and he is determined to seize this chance.
Turagacoke, currently a lock forward for Stade Francais, will begin his journey off the bench, stepping in as a valuable replacement for the injured Leone Rotusolia in the upcoming game.
This story serves as an inspiring reminder of how dedication and hard work can lead to unexpected opportunities. Turagacoke’s journey is just beginning, and it will be exciting to see how he grows as part of the national team. His determination highlights the bright future of Fijian rugby, with young talents ready to make their mark on the global stage.
