Age is not a factor for Flying Fijian 15's rugby vice-captain Kele Leawere as he look forward for Saturday showdown against the New Zealand Maori.
At 34 years old, Leawere is the oldest player in the side but the Japan based player is looking forward in guiding the younger player in the team to follow his foot-step.
Leawere who was part of the Fiji team that lost 29-27 to the NZ Maori in 2005 believes the side has the forward pack that can contain the visitors.
Meanwhile, the Fiji 15's team took a break from training today as the players set their focus for Saturday.
The run on team to take on the Maori will be name tomorrow afternoon.
The Fiji/NZ Maori game kicks-off on Saturday at 3pm and live commentary on Viti FM.
Age No Factor for Leawere
