The Moala Vonokula 7s team who travelled from Moala in the Lau group are ready to showcase their island flair at next week’s Fiji Bitter Marist 7s tournament.

“We want to show the people of Fiji the talent we have back on the island, and our boys are ready to give it their all,” said coach John Likusuasua.

The 19-member squad consisting of players from the villages of Naroi, Nuku, Vunuku and Vadra were ready to compete against some of the big names on the circuit.

“We may not have a lot of game time but I’m sure we can give some teams a run for their money,” he said.

Likusuasua added they were eager to take part in their first major tournament, which they hoped to be a regular one in coming years.
