🏴‍☠️ Pirates on Tour! 🏴‍☠️

While enjoying a family holiday in Fiji, Rove has been flying the Pirates flag abroad and making some great rugby connections along the way!

Rove caught up with local Fijian brothers Junior and David, who will be lining up for the Vasuma Knights in their semi-final clash this weekend. In true rugby spirit, there was a bit of kit swapping between the lads, with some Pirates gear making its way into Fiji and a few souvenirs coming back the other way.

We’d like to wish Junior, David and the Vasuma Knights all the very best for their semi-final this weekend. 💪🏉

And who knows… this might not be the last we’ve seen of these talented brothers. Maybe we could just see them pulling on the Uni Pirates colours in the upcoming season! 🤷🏻‍♀️👀🏴‍☠️
