Setareki Turagacoke, an impressive 18-year-old talent, is thrilled to have received a call-up for the Fiji Water Flying Fijians. With a second game on the horizon this weekend, he is eager to seize this opportunity.
The young athlete from Dakuinuku Village in Tailevu expressed his surprise at being selected for the national team at such an early stage in his career. “It is a big opportunity for me to be here with the boys,” he stated, sharing his excitement. Turagacoke had primarily focused on playing in France’s Top 14 league, so his inclusion in the squad was unexpected but welcome.
Reflecting on his journey, he mentioned that it has always been a dream of his to represent Fiji, a milestone that feels especially rewarding. He is set to make his mark, stepping in as a replacement for the injured Leone Rotusolia, starting from the bench.
This moment not only highlights Turagacoke’s potential but also symbolizes hope for the future of Fijian rugby, showcasing the next generation of athletes ready to embrace national pride and contribute to the sport at a higher level. As he prepares for his debut, fans and fellow players alike are excited to see how he will perform.
