President Konrote tells the Flying Fijians to accept victory with humility and defeat graciously

President, Jioji Konrote told members of the Fiji Airways Flying Fijians to accept victory with humility and defeat graciously.

While accepting the team’s i-tatau at State House today, Konrote told the players they are not alone in their efforts to do well for their families and the nation.

He told the players to maintain their healthy lifestyle as Fiji is losing too many of our people through hypertension and diabetes.

Players like captain Dominiko Waqaniburotu, Ben Volavola, Leone Nakarawa, Josua Tuisova, Patrick Osbourne, Nikola Matawalu, Frank Lomani and Semi Kunatani were present at the i-tatau as the team begin their journey to the Rugby World Cup in Japan.

The Fiji team begin their road to the Rugby World Cup when they take on the Maori All Blacks at 3pm Saturday at the ANZ Stadium and you can catch the live commentary of the match on our sister station, Viti FM.
