Moses eyes Super opportunity

Moses Armstrong-Ravula would like to see himself playing alongside his older brother and Drua’s top scorer Isaiah Armstrong–Ravula.

Moses who turned 21 last Saturday said they always played in the same teams ever since they started playing rugby.

“Like every other older brother, we spend a lot of time together growing up. We’re only 14 months apart, so we very close in age,” Moses said.

“Every team he played in, I played in. I was always playing up in his teams. So all of his friends are my friends, and I was kind of the one brother that would always go along for the ride.

“He’s definitely influenced a lot, seeing him grow over the last couple years, been very inspiring to me, and hopefully can play together again one day.”

The forward said there was a lot to learn from his older brother regarding rugby.

Moses said seeing Isaiah being the Drua’s top point scorer has been a proud moment for him.

Isaiah has 222 points so far after playing 31 Super Rugby Pacific matches for the Drua.

“He definitely nails his kicks. I think he’s only got one try, so the fact he’s got 200 pointers is awesome. I think he owes that to all the all the boys that are scoring the tries as well.”

Moses said his goal includes playing for the Flying Fijians.

“The biggest goal for me right now is just to try and get back to rugby, still coming from injury, and then hopefully get a debut within the next couple years. And just move on from there.”

Godly apparel

The Armstrong-Ravula siblings founded their clothing apparel two years ago.

The Godly Sports apparel has now partnered with the Fijian Drua. They equip the entire team including the women’s and development with calf skins.

“We were kind of just thinking of ways that we could help other athletes like us represent their faith on the field, or on the court,” Moses said of the business.

“We wanted to try and express our faith the way best as possible, and, because everyone writes it on the tape, but now they decided they don’t really want to write on their tape anymore. They want to wear it and wear it with pride, and I think it’s awesome.

Partnering with the Drua was massive. It was a really big step, not for the business, but for the community that we’re building.”

The siblings hail from Moce, Lau and shares maternal links to Tonga.
