Head coach Senirusi Seruvakula is impressed with the progress the team is showing and with 2 days to go he finds it a bit difficult in selecting his run-on team.
“It’s going to be hard to select the lineup looking at the depth in the team, the experience and the young talents and how they’re racking up in training.”
“They’ve been gelling in pretty good and our combination is coming in well”
He emphasized how their opener against China Lions will be effective for the team adding that they’re up against the current Mitre 10 Cup Champions.
“It’s going to be a big game and a tough game for us especially playing against the champion in Mitre 10 cup”
“It’s also a good game for us as it lifts up our standard of rugby, exposes our players and they gain experience from it especially the upcoming players”
Season one of Global Rapid Rugby officially launches this Saturday when Latui takes on China Lions at the ANZ Stadium followed by a double-header at HBF Park in Perth where Manuma Samoa will face South China Tigers, and the Western Force, taking on Malaysia Valke.
