Great news for the people of Taveuni as they will host several Melbourne Storm players, including Fiji Bati Captain and Storm prop Tui Kamikamica, next month.

Kamikamica will be taking a number of Storm players to visit his home village in Somosomo during the week-long activities planned in the lead-up to the official NRL trial match between the Storm and the Knights that will be played at Churchill Park.

The Melbourne Storm says their players and coaches will share their training and coaching skills with schools and rugby league clubs.

Kamikamica says he is extremely proud to be able to visit his village and to take some of his Storm teammates to his home in Somosomo

He says all of Fiji is excited about having Storm and the Knights play this trial match, and he can’t wait to see the kids and families at the match and the clinics.

He adds this is a very proud moment for the country, and he hopes it inspires more kids to play rugby league and maybe play for the Storm one day.

Fiji Airways will fly Kamikamica and his teammates to his home island of Taveuni, where they will meet with students and the local community.

Storm fans will be able to watch the team train at Churchill Park on Wednesday afternoon, while coaches from local rugby league clubs will be given the opportunity to learn from Storm’s coaching staff in an exclusive clinic.

Players will also visit local primary and secondary schools throughout the week as the team prepares for the first-ever NRL match to be played in Fiji.

The Storm also announced the Kaiviti Silktails will play a curtain raiser prior to Storm taking on the Newcastle Knights on February 24th. The Silktails curtain raiser will kick off at 12.30pm at Churchill Park, giving the Fijian locals a chance to see future NRL stars in action.

Tickets for the Storm vs Knights trial match can be purchased in-store or online through Jacks of Fiji at $10.
