Navosa is set to strengthen their lineup with the addition of former Flying Fijians and Fiji 7s star Semi Kunatani in their upcoming match against Yasawa in the first round of the Vodafone Vanua Trophy. Kunatani, who plays professionally with LA RFC in the United States’ Major League Rugby (MLR), is available for Navosa’s fixture since the MLR is currently on break. Known for his robust running style, Kunatani is anticipated to enhance the power and lend invaluable experience to the Navosa pack.
The team’s roster blends seasoned players with promising local talent, featuring Aporosa Maya at scrum-half and Etuate Qalibau in the crucial fly-half position. The much-anticipated game is scheduled for kick-off at Lawaqa Park in Sigatoka.
The presence of an internationally experienced player like Kunatani is a significant boost for Navosa and could be pivotal in their campaign. His inclusion underscores the homecoming theme prevalent among many Fijian players, who often return to contribute to their domestic squads during international competition breaks. This blend of local talent and international experience sets Navosa on a path poised with potential as they commence their journey in the tournament.
Fans are eagerly awaiting the match, not just to see Kunatani in action but to witness how Navosa navigates the competition with their reinvigorated squad. This game promises to be a captivating encounter, showcasing the skill and determination that Fijian rugby is known for.
