Bai to end rugby career on a high at RWC

The 2011 Rugby World Cup will definitely be the last World Cup tournament for Seremaia Bai and he wants to finish off with the best memories.

Bai as he is known to many was brought up in Nadali where he attended the village school at primary level and later went to Lelean Memorial School where he represented the school in the U-19 level.

He is one of the players in the team that has played for Fiji from the U-19, U-21 and U-23 level and later played for Tailevu in the local provincial championship in 1999 before his international debut against Japan in 2000 in a match which Fiji won 47-22.

In the same year he was in the national side that played against Samoa, USA, Canada and Italy and later in 2002 he joined Southland for the National Provincial Championship, and went on to tour with Fiji for the November Test series in the northern hemisphere.

Surprisingly for Bai he was not in the team that played in the 2003 RWC but that did not stop him from playing for the Fiji team again in 2004 and 2005 where he was also in the combined Pacific Islanders team that toured the southern hemisphere.

Bai captained the Tailevu Knights for the 2006 Colonial Cup, and then signed with Clermont in France and play for Fiji in the PNC in the same year.

In the 2007 RWC he was the first choice inside center and played a major role in the quarterfinal loss to South Africa after Nicky Little was injured in the last pool game against Wales.

Bai now said while we may have some different views on the selection of the team we should understand that they are in NZ for all of us at home.
