Good Exposure For Swire Warriors
The Swire Shipping Fijian Warriors’ 24-14 loss to the Western Force was a good experience for the local players,
The Senirusi Seruvakula-coached side arrived yesterday after playing in the opening game of the inaugural World Series Rugby last Friday at nib Stadium.
“It is not the scoreline but the exposure for the local players is more important,”captain Mosese Voka said.
“It is a good exposure for the boys especially playing with players who played in the Super Rugby competition.
“We took some Under-23 players and it was an eye opener as well. In the long run this won’t only benefit the players but Fiji Rugby as a whole.”
On the field, the Force made the most of their home-field advantage to lead 19-0 at halftime.
“Playing in front of the 19,466 fans was incredible and we hope another team from Fiji can beat the Force next year,”
The Force is scheduled to play six more invitational sides continuing with Tonga on Sunday.
Last year, the Perth franchise was axed from Super Rugby but billionaire Andrew Forrest has funded the new competition which is set to start next year.
