Better days ahead

I’M pleased with the efforts shown by Fiji Bati coach Brandon Costin as he led the Fiji Bati to two thunderous wins over Toa Samoa and the PNG Kumuls.

After belting Samoa (44-18), the Bati did not waste time outclassing the Kumuls (22-20) to gain automatic promotion and battle the Kiwis and the Mate Ma’a (meaning die for Tonga) Tongans.

At least this will give our Bati quality matches before the 2021 RLWC in England. Fiji has failed to progress beyond the semis as our boys lost to the Kangaroos in the past two RLWCs but Costin has the boys capable of playing in the final. Indeed, better days ahead!
