Seattle Barbarians winger Mosese Naura is eager to embark on a professional rugby career, whether in sevens or fifteens. Displaying gratitude for the support he receives from his teammates, particularly Semi Kunatani, Naura emphasizes the importance of confidence and perseverance in his approach to the sport.

As he prepares for upcoming tournaments, including the Labasa Sevens and Skipper Cup competition with Nadi, Naura is focused on refining his skills, stating, “I will have to improve my running lines and defence to become a better player.” Despite facing personal challenges such as lack of transportation to training and irregular meal times, Naura remains optimistic and attributes his journey to divine timing.

His dedication is reminiscent of other aspiring young athletes in Fiji’s rugby scene, such as Ilaitia Tagicakibau, who has committed his holiday season to rugby despite the attractiveness of leisure activities. Tagicakibau’s passion for the sport mirrors Naura’s, as both aspire to build careers through rugby with family support serving as their backbone.

As Naura and his contemporaries press forward, their commitment not only illustrates individual resilience but also reflects the robust pipeline of talent emerging from Fiji that nurtures future stars on the international stage. With mentors and opportunities around them, both players and many others share a hopeful outlook for the future, driven by the aspiration to represent their country and achieve sporting excellence.
