Rooster Chicken to sponsor Fijiana 15s for two historic test matches while Seruvakula names four new overseas-based players
Fiji Rugby Union {FRU} is pleased to announce that Rooster Chicken has
extended its support towards women’s rugby and has come on board to
sponsor the Fijiana 15’s for the historic two-test match against Japan and
Wallaroos in Australia.
FRU Chief Executive John O’Connor said they would like to extend their
gratitude to the management and staff of Rooster Chicken for their
continuous belief in women’s rugby.
“We would like to say a big Vinaka Vakalevu to Rooster Chicken for their
support in assisting the Fijiana Drua to win the Super W Championship
title last weekend in Melbourne and then accepting our offer to assist the
Fijiana 15's during the two important test matches.”
With the announcement of the sponsorship, we request all media to refer
to Fijiana 15s as “Rooster Chicken Fijiana 15’s” said O’Connor.
Rooster Chicken Fijiana 15’s Head Coach Senirusi Seruvakula has named
an exciting 32-member extended squad preparing for the test matches
against Japan on the 1st of May and Wallaroos a week after on Saturday
the 7th.
Seruvakula has named four new overseas-based players in his squad as
they now move their focus to build the combination for the Rugby World
Cup in New Zealand later in the year.
USA-based Scion Rugby Club player Asinate Serevi and GPS Rugby Club
utility Anna Nasalo are expected to strengthen our forward pack while
Canberra-based Brumbies player Talei Wilson and rugby league convert
Luisa Yaranamua from West Habour Rugby club will provide more
firepower in the back.
Seruvakula said “These players were always on my radar and I have
always been in contact with them throughout the season.”
