“And what actually keeps pushing me to keep doing my best is first and for most God and my family, friends especially when I am going through any hardships they are always there to support me.

“However, if given the opportunit­y, I am looking forward to being part of the Flying Fijian side,” he said.

This is actually my first year to be part of Fiji Airways Fijian Warriors side and i hope to prove myself. I won’t be considerin­g any teams as pushovers as they all will come prepared to give us a good run. Mesulame Dolokoto Fiji Airways Fijian Warriors Hooker
