Australian Fiji Rugby Union

Massive congratulations to our AFRU boys Cale Maurice, Netani Lesimaikimatuku & Sevuloni Satala all named to start in tomorrow’s fixture for U20s against Japan U23s. Wishing you all the best of luck in this next chapter for rugby journeys!

🇫🇯 AFRU Pathway in Action 🇫🇯

We are incredibly proud to congratulate Netani Lesimaikimatuku, Cale Maurice and Sevuloni Satala on their selection in the Fiji Under 20 squad 👏

A fantastic achievement and a reflection of their hard work, commitment and performances throughout the AFRU tour.

We also acknowledge Solomone Koroi and Jaydon Curulala, who have been named as non-travelling reserves and will remain in Fiji to continue training within the Fiji U20 environment — a strong endorsement of their talent and potential 💪

We would also like to recognise Marley Chandra and Jerome Archibald, who were selected in the squad but are unfortunately unavailable due to injury.

This is exactly what AFRU was created for — providing exposure, creating pathways, and contributing to the future strength of Fiji Rugby 🇫🇯

Vinaka vakalevu to Fiji Rugby Union for the opportunity and belief in our players.

This is just the beginning.

A call out to all our Australian based Fijians (Mens & U20s) this is for you!! We are looking to build squads going into 2027! If you’re interested simply reach out via socials for your respective state. Please note that all players will be subject to selection process and specific requirements will need to be met to be considered. Stay tuned for more!

Another big day in the history of our organisation as we take the field against the development squad! Our boys are prepped and ready to represent their families and friends who have been a massive part of this journey!

Ladies & gentlemen, the time is here! A journey that started some years ago will come to fruition as your boys take the field today! Thanking those who have prayed, believed and invested in this group, looking forward to what’s to come today.

This is your AFRU U20s squad who will take the field today!

We’re proud to announce the inaugural touring squad of the Australian Fiji Rugby Union🇦🇺🇫🇯

This squad brings together elite Australian-based players and rising Under-20 talent who will first play a Fiji Rugby Under-20 selection on Wednesday 11th Feb in Nadi.

We are also taking with us a select group of senior grade players as reinforcements as we take on a Drua Development side in the second of our fixtures, a curtain raiser to the Super Rugby Pacific Fijian Drua vs Moana Pasifika opening round match on the 14th Feb in Lautoka.

This tour is both a major challenge and an incredible opportunity — a chance for our players to showcase their talent and help build a clear pathway for young Australian-based Fijians to reach the highest levels of the game.

A heartfelt thank you to our major Tour Sponsor Electro Fire Technologies Pty Ltd - This tour would not be possible without you. 🙏🏾

As well as to Levu Rentals and for their support.

A vinaka vakalevu also to the clubs that could get behind their players through sponsorship like or those that assisted us in other ways like giving us the use of their grounds.

Thank you to our families and friends for their fundraising efforts and standing by our boys every step of the way. It truly makes a difference.

Please continue to support, encourage, and keep our team in your prayers as they take this next exciting step in their rugby journey — for many, the beginning of something truly special.
