We want to keep building and try to be the best like them.” Despite a challenging loss against Scotland, where Fiji fell short with a score of 57-17, Vocevoce has embraced the opportunity to learn from the experience.
Reflecting on that match, he shared, “It was a different environment; I tried to be myself and just play. My family urged me to play hard, listen to the coaches, and enjoy the game.” He recalled watching the highlights of Fiji’s close World Cup loss to Wales, which ended 32-26 last year, and emphasized that the team has been focused on learning from past mistakes.
Vocevoce is optimistic about the team’s cohesion and is eagerly anticipating the upcoming game against Wales. He has called upon Flying Fijian fans worldwide for their support through prayers as the team prepares for this crucial match. “I’m just glad to be playing with these boys, especially the ones that I’ve watched play while growing up,” he said. He concluded with a call to focus on improvement from their previous match against Scotland.
This rising star’s dedication and drive are encouraging signs for the future of the Flying Fijians as they aim for a strong performance against Wales. With a collective effort and support from their fans, there’s hope for a turnaround in their upcoming match.
