Meet the Young Guns of Waqavuka! After a fun 3-minute icebreaker session to calm the nerves, I got to know the spirited young men of our Waqavuka team heading to New Zealand. These boys—Pio (20), Peni (15), Christian (21), Jolame (21), Marika (16), and Viliame (16)—are full of life and energy! They introduced themselves with big smiles, talking about the simple things in life like introducing themselves and their favorite foods and colors. It's heartwarming to see these young talents, all under 21, brimming with excitement and ready to make us proud on their big adventure! A snipet and icebreaker interview. followers

73 Days till Takeoff; This week, we’re excited to kickstart our podcast series in preparation for the Pacific Cup in Auckland, and we’re starting with an inspiring interview. We had the privilege of sitting down with Nancy Lilyokalani Ravutia, a dedicated member of the Taki Mai club who has earned her spot on the Waqavuka Mix Open grade team for the upcoming Pacific Cup this November in New Zealand.

Nancy’s story is one of passion, resilience, and Family. As a stay-at-home mom and mother of four, she has balanced the demands of family life while pursuing her love for touch rugby. In this interview, Nancy shares her journey—from discovering the sport to becoming a key player for Waqavuka. She opens up about the challenges she has faced, the support she has received from her family and teammates, and what it means to her to represent Fiji on an international stage.

Tune in to hear Nancy’s inspiring story, as she embodies the spirit of determination and dedication that defines Waqavuka. Her story is not just about rugby; it’s about balancing life, love, and dreams.

The Nadi Touch Rugby Association Waqavuka team is gearing up for something truly special — a journey to Auckland, New Zealand this November for the Pacific Touch Cup. It's more than just a competition; it's a chance for our teams to represent our community on the world stage.

To make this dream a reality, we're hosting a series of fundraisers, with each grade stepping up to support the trip. Our first kick-starter event? A barrel night at the end of this month, proudly hosted by the Mix Open team!

But this isn't just about raising funds — it's about lifting up the teammates who need it most. Some of our brothers and sisters are facing financial challenges, and through these events, we're aiming to ensure no one is left behind. With your support, we can also cover group expenses that will help us all focus on what matters most — the game, the camaraderie, and making our community proud.

In the coming days, we'll be sharing heartfelt stories of the players and their journeys. Stay tuned, and if you feel moved to help, you can purchase a ticket to our barrel night or sponsor an individual player.

Together, we can make sure our entire Waqavuka team gets to Auckland, stronger and united!

The Nadi Touch Rugby Association (NTRA) has initiated its journey to Auckland, New Zealand, by paying due respect to the traditional owners of the land on which we live, work, and play. Understanding the significance of cultural traditions, a delegation from the NTRA presented an isevusevu and or soro to the matanivanua of Na Momo na Tui Nadi, seeking the blessing of the vanua for this significant trip.

This gesture is more than just a formality; it symbolizes respect for the land and its people, acknowledging the guardians of our community, both past and present. As NTRA prepares to represent the name of Nadi in Auckland, it is essential to seek forgiveness and the vanua's blessing, marking a decade of existence with humility and gratitude.

Beyond seeking blessings, the delegation's objectives were also to advocate for NTRA’s future plans, emphasizing transparency and advocacy within the villages across the Nadi district. This ensures that our journey is not just a physical one but also a spiritual and communal endeavor, rooted in the values and traditions of our vanua.

This opportunity is not just a testament to our hard work and dedication but also a reflection of the strong support system we have in the Touch Rugby community here in Fiji. Your support is not just a moral booster but a reminder of the unity and passion that binds us all.

We are proud to carry the Nadi and Fiji banners high as we compete in Auckland. Vinaka vakalevu, Mr. Mau, and the entire Touch Federation Fiji for believing in us! We will do our best to make you all proud.
