The Fiji Under-18 rugby side were reminded by the President Ratu Epeli Nailatikau to play to the best of their ability because their career at international level is still wide open.

Ratu Epeli made the comment after the side presented its ‘itatau’ today.

Ratu Epeli said many other players over the years didn't have the opportunities that the side have and they have to keep that in mind.

The 28-member team will leave for Australia this Thursday and will be playing the Australian and New Zealand schoolboys sides.

Ratu Epeli added that the two countries they would be playing against are two of the top rugby playing nations and he urged the team to give them good opposition.

The side will leave this Thursday and will return on October 6th.
