That is 13-year-old Manueli Rauqeuqe from Drasa Avenue Primary School who has been chosen to be the official match ball carrier for the opening 2015 Rugby World Cup game between Fiji and England.

He was picked out of the 500 students who had entered the competition organized by DHL.

DHL Fiji Country Manager, Mark Komene said they have picked Rauqeuqe as the winner because he plays rugby and will be a role model for all his peers.
