Kadavu Rugby Captain Vaione Tegu says that while the team is grateful to have advanced to the semi-final of the Vodafone Vanua Championship, their focus goes beyond simply eyeing a top-two finish and securing a Skipper Cup spot next year.

Tegu explains that the team is determined to show Kadavu is more than the negative news it is often associated with, and through this campaign, they hope to prove that the province can build a proud name for itself in sports, particularly in domestic competitions.

“There’s so many things being said about Kadavu, well for my team and I we want to change things around and get people to view Kadavu as a place where great rugby talent is from.”
