Vodafone Fiji Bati rep Atunaisa Turagaiviu believes they can repeat their World Cup win over Samoa this Saturday in Australia.
The 25 year old former Saint Johns Anglican Primary in Wailoku and Laucala Bay Secondary school student is one of the two local based players in the Bati side along with Osea Sadrau.
Turagaiviu is the younger brother of former Vodafone Fiji 7s and Flying Fijians winger Filimoni Bolavucu and he made his debut in 2011 and he last represented the Bati in 2012 but last year he failed to make the cut for the world cup.
Turagaiviu who is a Police Officer and hails from Wawa in Moturiki said this is also an opportunity for him to showcase his talent in Australia.
Fiji will play Samoa at 9.40pm this Saturday in a one off test match, where the winner will book a spot in the upcoming Four Nations Cup which features New Zealand, Australia and England.
