Noble banner blue

ONCE again the noble banner blue will be sung the loudest. We push aside all the boundaries when it comes to rugby and cheer for Fiji as one.

Rugby is what unites us as a nation. Rugby is a religion in Fiji. Like our sevens team does it most often, now is the time for the Flying Fijians to fly our flag high.

Though the result matters to us and will indicate the gulf between top teams and tier two nations, but we continue to support the Flying Fijians through thick and thin. As a nation and a Fijian fan anywhere in the world, we get behind in support of our team.

This is what makes us different from the rest of the world. Race, colour and creed is not a barrier any more when it comes to rugby as we put our differences aside. Most strikingly, the Fijian fans who are living in remote areas travel so many kilometres to higher ground just to set up their TV sets to watch rugby. Rugby triggers high emotions among Fijian fans.

This is why we always say the passion of Fijian rugby fans is unmatched. We all stand united under the noble banner blue. We are Fiji. Go Fiji Go.
