Senirusi Seruvakula SENIRUSI SERUVAKULA 14 December, 2017 I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the Australian Rugby Union and World Rugby for the inclusion of the Fijian Drua Team in the 2017 Australian National Rugby Championship. This was a great milestone for the Fiji Rugby and a remarkable opportunity for our local talented rugby players not only to showcase their natural abilities through their performance but also recognise the competition participants capability on the field with the potential to excel. The NRC competition was also an exceptional development platform and learning environment for our local players in Fiji, enabling them to revitalise their full potential of rugby talents throughout the competition. Therefore, I would also like to sincerely thank the Management and staff of the Fiji Rugby Union for the great vision in developing this rugby platform of our local players to aspire in their rugby career locally and abroad, at the same time generating a pool of players for the pathway to the Flying Fijian Squad. I also commend the Fijian Drua Management Team whereby our goals were directed successfully, meeting the Team’s objectives and opening opportunities for improvement throughout the competition. Chris Hickey (Director Technical) brought a great depth of experience into the Fijian Drua team, enabling the management team members and players to be at par with one another and highly adaptive to variations and open to change. Communication is one of the pillars to our team’s accomplishment as we look at our weekly game strengths and weaknesses and formulate effective planning and crucial decision making for the whole team. Weekly game and training reporting, face to face meetings with individual players allows team leaders to perform their duties on and off the field, efficiently and successfully.

This needs to be reviewed for more game time and consistency of the players We were grateful to have a Capped game against Tonga before the NRC and such capping games should be regularly undertaken. PLAYER SELECTION For the player selection criteria, it was my recommendation that we select, • Best Local players for exposure and gain more experience • Marquee players on the verge of making into the Mitre 10 and playing in the Shute Shield, Brisbane Premier Grade • Core Players in the Under 20’s in the NRC Depth Chat.

In years gone by, this report would be prepared as a reflection on the past season as all enjoyed decent break before focusing on the requirements for the next year. It appears those days are now well behind us, as the season grows inexorably longer – as I write this report, well into November, around 60 – 80 referees are still being appointed on a weekly basis for both 7s and 15s competitions. This a matter of concern for the QRRA, as it places a heavy additional burden on our administrators, Appointments Officers and particularly on our long suffering referees (some of even the most dedicated of our members have needed to declare unavailability so that they can recover from injuries or preserve their bodies for the year ahead).

  • Phonetic Guide
    Phonetic Guide Fiji Introduction Fijian uses the Roman alphabet, as do English and most European languages, but some of the letters represent sounds in ways that are unexpected for English speakers. The following letters present no problems, as they represent the same sounds as they do in English spelling: f, h, l, m, n, s, w, and y. The vowels are a little different from English – and how different they are, depends on what kind of English you speak. But if you are a speaker of German, Italian or Spanish, you should have no problems at all, because the five vowels (a, e, i, o, u) are pronounced almost exactly the same. The pronunciation is roughly as follows: a as in 'spa' e as in 'pet' i as in 'machine' o as in 'sore' u as in 'too' Two vowels together retain their original pronunciation (unlike in English), so that lai is pronounced like 'lie', cei like 'they', kau like 'cow', and so on. There are some differences in the pronunciation of consonants that English speakers need to bear in mind: b, d have a preceding nasal consonant, so b sounds like 'mb' and d like 'nd' k, p, t are as in English, but without the puff of breath that usually follows. Also, t often sounds like 'ch' before the vowel i, so oti is often pronounced as if it were oji ('ochi'). r is rolled, as in Scottish English, Spanish, etc. v is pronounced by placing the lips together (not with the lower lip against the upper teeth as in English).
