“Our prayers and hearts will be with each and every one of you.”

These are the words of Sports and Youth Minister Commander Viliame Naupoto in his message to the management and players of the Vodafone Fiji Bati ahead of tomorrow's semifinal clash against the Kangaroos in the Rugby League World cup.   

Naupoto congratulated the Fiji bati for their performance in the quarterfinals last weekend. 

Naupoto has urged the team to go play like a true Fijian Bati and to go and enjoy every moment.

He said that the nation would like to acknowledge their dedication, sacrifice, attitude and pride for their country in their past matches. 

Naupoto said the Bati have once again proven that Fiji can be the best in Rugby League in the world.  

Meanwhile, the side had their team run yesterday at Wembley Stadium testing out the “Big Hit” before their game tomorrow.

The Vodafone Fiji Bati and the Kangaroos match kicks off at 4.30am tomorrow while the Kiwis will play England at 2am.
