Mahatma Gandhi Memorial High School Under 15 flyhalf Apisalome Saukuru has secured a scholarship to Wesley College for 2026, marking a major milestone in his rising rugby journey.

This has been confirmed by Wesley College Principal Dr. Brian Evans, who also revealed that Saukuru has signed an NRL Bulldogs contract earlier this year, a rare achievement for a player his age and a strong signal of his potential.

Fiji Secondary School Rugby League Marketing, Sponsorship and Media Officer Lai Corerega welcomed the announcement, saying the achievement highlights the growing opportunities for young Fijian rugby league talent.
