The Wai rugby team from Labasa is placing its hopes on the Macuata players to achieve success in the upcoming Ganilau leg of the Fiji Sports Council Under-20 Sevens tournament. This team features skilled players, including Leniatasi Radianarova, who has gained experience both with the national sevens team and in the United Kingdom with the Rams Army.
Team manager Emosi Catanasiga acknowledged the tough competition they will face, highlighting that prominent teams such as Dominion Brothers, Village Boys, and PSM Aflame are also participating in the tournament. While Wai may be seen as underdogs in this competitive environment, Catanasiga is confident that they should not be underestimated.
Catanasiga emphasized the importance of teamwork, stating that they plan to approach every match as if it were a final. The players have been training rigorously, understanding that each team will strive for victory in the tournament. In addition to physical preparation, he noted that they are also focusing on mental readiness.
The Ganilau leg of the tournament is set to take place from November 15 to 16, as part of a series that comprises five legs with a total prize pool of $78,500.
This determination and commitment to excellence can serve as a source of inspiration for other teams and athletes. As the tournament approaches, the spirit of competition and the pursuit of success remain at the forefront, offering a hopeful outlook for all participating teams eager to showcase their talents.
