The makeup of the front row was the deciding factor in his inclusion in the Flying Fijians to the Rugby World Cup in New Zealand.
Viliame Veikoso is one of the three hookers in the team and he is counting himself lucky to be named in the final 30 member squad.
The 29 year old said that with Sunia Koto and Tuapati Talemaitoga also in the race he has to wait for the coach’s decision on whether he will get the nod to be in the team.
Veikoso played rugby at high school when he was at QVS and later went to Wesley College in New Zealand before playing for 2nd division New Zealand side North Otago where he won the Heartland Championship in 2005 and 2006.
Hailing from Nabua village in Cakaudrove he is closely related to open side flanker Akapusi Qera who is his first cousin and for Veikoso it is time to re-pay the selectors with the faith they have in him.
