Kevin Naiqama Makes a Triumphant Return to Fiji Rugby for the 2024 Pacific Championships
Fiji rugby fans have reason to celebrate as veteran player Kevin Naiqama has been recalled to the national squad for the 2024 Pacific Championships. This marks the first time Naiqama will represent Fiji since the 2022 Rugby League World Cup. The 35-year-old’s return brings invaluable experience to the team, having played 51 games over the last two seasons with the Huddersfield Giants.
His inclusion alongside other key players like Viliame Kikau and Sunia Turuva strengthens Fiji’s lineup as they prepare to take on Papua New Guinea and the Cook Islands in the Pacific Bowl. The seasoned winger is expected to play a pivotal role in helping Fiji secure a top spot in the tournament.
This recall is seen as a significant boost for Fiji, bringing a blend of leadership and skill to a squad already brimming with talent. Naiqama’s experience and his connection with the younger players could be key in Fiji’s quest for success in this prestigious competition.
