Josaia Dakuitoga known to many as Joe Rabele is excited for the upcoming Prime Minister’s thirteen test in Fiji.

Rabele who coached the Fiji Bati side in the 2008 Rugby League World Cup says this game is a huge step for Rugby League in the country.

Rabele says that as the sport grows in the country, he hopes that Friday’s game inspire locals to try the sport.

“This is a dream come true especially for our local players. If you see this Aussie team they always go to Papua New Guinea and we are so blessed to have them come here and have the challenge here in Fiji.”

The former Bati coach thanked the Australian Rugby League Commission for bringing the Prime Minister’s challenge to Fiji.

The Fiji Prime Minister’s thirteen will take on the Australian Prime Minister’s thirteen at 7.30pm this Friday at Suva’s ANZ Stadium.
