Vodafone Vanua 15’s coach Inoke Male believes his side will put up a great show against Heartland rugby team in New Zealand today.

Male says despite the team consisting of players from the second division of Fiji Rugby Union’s competition, they are ready to prove the critics wrong.

“This is a development team and it is a pathway for the Fiji Rugby Union. We are going there to prove the selectors and the union that this players can step up to the next level.”

The Vanua 15’s faces Heartland 4pm in Auckland today.
