Manueli’s Experience at Twickenham

28 September 2015: DHL, the world’s leading express and Logistics Company and Official Logistics Partner of Rugby World Cup 2015 is proud to fulfil the dream of this young lad from Bua, Manueli Rauqeuqe.

Speaking from Twickenham in London, Manueli said he felt awesome, very excited to be watched by millions around the world and especially his family in Fiji. He also felt emotional singing Fiji’s National Anthem with the Flying Fijians live.

The first week saw 8 of our 48 Match Ball Delivery winners take centre stage and deliver the match ball onto the field of play at the first 8 matched of RWC2015. Mark Komene Country Manager Fiji and PI said “We are proud of Manu and his achievement and this is just a beginning for him. From a soft spoken, shy young lad to being interviewed by journalist from around the world at RWC2015 Manu has done really well for himself and his country.
