Fiji Bati Creates History

We are in the top four of the world.

The Fiji Bati has created history by becoming the first Fijian rugby league team to make it to the semifinal of the Rugby League World Cup (RLWC). The Vodafone Fiji Bati side is on cloud number nine after making it into the top four at the World Cup in Australia.

Reaching the last four of the World Cup also guarantees Fiji, a windfall of the $300,000 prize money.

Fiji Bati defeated Ireland by 30 points to 14 after leading 12-10 at half time last night. This was one of the best matches ever played by the Fiji Bati at the World Cup.

Captain Wes Naiqama led by example as he scored the first try while Akuila Uate grabbed two with Jason Bukuya and Jerrad Hayne also going on the scoring sheet.

Naiqama after the match said they were confident of a win against Ireland.
