Vunivalu refuses to commit to an international team

Try‑scoring machine Suliasi Vunivalu has refused to commit to an international team ahead of the World Cup, saying his focus is on the Storm.

Before being signed by the Storm, the 21‑year‑old try‑scoring machine moved to New Zealand when he was 16 and played rugby union, reaching the Auckland Blues development team.

When asked if he had been approached by Kidwell and New Zealand to play, Vunivalu answered "no comment".

Vunivali apparently is unsure whether to represent Fiji, New Zealand or Australia, but he insists his main motivation rests with Melbourne.

Meanwhile today the Titans will face the Knights at 4pm, the Bulldogs will take on the Raiders at 6.30pm, while the Tigers will meet the Sharks at 8.30pm.

In matches last night, the Eels defeated the Cowboys 26‑6, while the Sea Eagles thrashed the Rabbitohs 46‑8.
