Vodafone Fijiana XV Reveals Squad for 2024 Oceania Rugby Women’s Championship

Vodafone Fijiana 15’s Head Coach, Mosese Rauluni, has unveiled his extended squad for the upcoming 2024 Oceania Rugby Women’s Championship scheduled for the end of this month.

Keeping faith in the core players from the Fijian Drua Women’s team, Rauluni has also introduced three overseas talents into the mix.

Doreen Narokote and Iris Verebalavu, fresh off their Super W campaigns with Queensland Reds and Brumbies respectively, join the squad, alongside Bitila Tawake, who gained valuable experience during her stint with Chiefs Manawa in New Zealand.

Coach Rauluni said he was content with the selection of the players and is looking forward to the long international season ahead.

“It’s a very important competition that we are going into, its our main objective to qualify for the World Cup next year and we have come to that point.

“Our first big game is against Tonga and as the team has been named, we have picked the majority from Drua and we have worked really hard these past two weeks,” said Rauluni.

With the Oceania Rugby Women’s Championship commencing later this month, the Vodafone Fijiana 15’s brace themselves for a long campaign ahead.

The Championship will begin from 24^th May to June 2.
