Fijiana 15s Trials

The Fiji Rugby union conducted a national trials last week to select a 15s women’s team for a two match tour of Australia next month. 

About 90 players turned up at Buckhurst Park for the trials including those that are currently playing in the Women’s Provincial tournament that is running alongside the Skipper Cup competition.

Twenty-nine players were selected whereby only 24 will travel to Australia to play against Brumbies and New Castle. This is the first for a Fiji women’s 15s rugby team to tour Australia.

Recently accredited World Rugby Level 3, Alifereti Doviverata will coach the team to Australia and has been taking the team through their Daily Training Exercise Programmes.
