Seruiratu encourages young ruggers ahead of national finals

Opposition Leader Inia Seruiratu has urged students competing in the Vodafone Deans Trophy and Weet-Bix Raluve Championship finals to give their utmost effort on the field this weekend. He reminded them that their performance will be observed not only by passionate fans but also by rugby scouts.

Seruiratu emphasized that rugby has evolved beyond a mere sport, now presenting a viable career path for young individuals dedicated to the hard work, discipline, and effort required for success. As a former student of Ratu Kadavulevu School, he extended his best wishes to the school's Under-15 and Under-17 teams, who are set to compete in the finals.

He advised the students that while academic achievement is crucial, those with a passion and talent for rugby can also explore opportunities through the sport. "Rugby has grown significantly over the past decade and it is not only a sport but a career pathway that you can pursue," Seruiratu stated, adding that it can be an option for those who may not feel suited for the classroom.

The finals for both the Vodafone Deans and Weet-Bix Raluve Championship are scheduled to take place at HFC Bank Stadium in Suva this weekend.
