The Vodafone Fiji Bati will have a huge celebration on Friday after they reached the semifinal of the Rugby League World Cup.
Since the team has arrived from Australia, players and officials have been engaged in celebration but this time something different has been organised.
This has been confirmed by the Deputy Director for Ministry for Information, Major Neumi Laweni.
Meanwhile, the fear of losing as much as the desire to win will drive the Kangaroos in the Rugby League World Cup final against New Zealand in Brisbane on Saturday.
Australia are hot favourites to retain the trophy they have held for 33 years, scoring 32 tries and conceding just three in four convincing victories on their road to the title decider.
But Coach Ricky Stuart had a blunt assessment of the task facing his players at Suncorp Stadium. He said the last four games mean nothing and they will be the most known football team in the world if they get beaten this week.
The Australia / New Zealand final will be played on Saturday at 9pm.
