The families of players who are part of the Rugby World Cup team in Japan are excited and waiting watch their loved ones in action this weekend.

Preparations also have begun for some of the families who have planned their day for the opening match of the Flying Fijians.

The parents of veteran back Vereniki Goneva say they cannot wait to watch their son in action during the RWC in Japan.

I have made sure that come Saturday im free from 4pm so that I can watch the team play their first match against the Wallabies and I also hope my son gets a chance to play in the first game as we all will be cheering from Nagado in Nadi.

35 year old Goneva has also made the villagers of Nagado proud as this will be his 4th RWC.

I spoke to him just yesterday and what he told me was that if the Wallabies are not careful the boys can cause a huge upset.

The couple together with the villagers will be glued to the television at Goneva’s home on Saturday for Fiji’s first match.

Meanwhile, for Vika Rokotakala, she is just proud that her husband Filipo Nakosi is part of the team.

She says that there is no doubt that Nakosi will play his heart out if given the chance.

I am really excited to watch him play. Its his first world cup and we are all looking forward to watching the match at home. 

The family are planning to watch the first match together with Josua Tuisova’s family, Nakosi’s younger brother.
