Rabitu, Vakatawa in line for debuts as Fiji coach promises game time for all squad members

Fiji Water Flying Fijians coach Senirusi Seruvakula is committed to giving every player in his squad an opportunity to represent the country during the Nations Championship. Newcomers Sikeli Rabitu and Virimi Vakatawa are poised to earn their first Test caps when Fiji faces Scotland this weekend.

Seruvakula emphasized that this decision was a fulfillment of a commitment made at the tournament's outset. "When we start the campaign, I’ve ensured the players that everyone is going to get a game," he stated. He noted that only Rabitu, Sam Wye, and Vakatawa had yet to feature in the current campaign, and they are now slated to play.

When we start the campaign, I’ve ensured the players that everyone is going to get a game. So from the last two games, the only players that need to wear the jersey is Rabitu, Sam Wye and Virimi Vakatawa. They will be in the team.

"I’ve already told the players that everyone is going to get a game. They are here. They have been selected to make the team. Everyone will have a share of wearing that jersey for their country," Seruvakula added, underscoring the importance of equitable opportunity for all selected athletes. The match against Scotland is scheduled for Sunday at 1:10 AM.
