Ratu Kadavulevu School’s Under-18 rugby team has received a timely boost ahead of tomorrow’s Vodafone Deans quarter-final, with former students rallying behind the defending champions.

The latest gesture came from the RKS Class of 2008, which purchased three pairs of rugby boots for players who did not have proper footwear ahead of the knockout clash against Ra Provincial Free Bird Institute.

After reaching out to the team to see where assistance was needed, the old scholars were informed that three players lacked rugby boots and quickly moved to address the issue.

The Class of 2008 includes Flying Fijians prop Peni Ravai, who joined his former classmates in supporting the next generation of players.
