" What a great feeling to know that we have paved the way for little girls back home and in the Pacific ! "

Currently the Mens competition has started and Oceania is represented by Aus, Fiji and NZL. This event is through to the final placing stage. An exciting Round 4 saw Fiji vs NZL meet up and this resulted in a very tight conntest with NZL Men winning 6-5. A highlight for the spectators was the rousing Haka and Cibi before the event challenging both teams to a great contest and so it was !
