The journey to be in the Flying Fijians team to the Rugby World Cup has not been an easy ride for loose forward Sakiusa Masi.
For the former Suva Grammar School number 8 who was a key member of the team that won the Deans trophy for the first time in 2001, the presence of school team mate, Wame Lewaravu in this side has given him a lot of assurance that he can compete against the best.
He is trying to win a starting spot in a position where the side is rich with talents with a loose trio of Akapusi Qera, Netani Talei and Sisa Koyamaibole who had stamped their mark in the 2007 RWC.
Now the 29 year old from Saqani in Cakaudrove who play his rugby with the Montepelier team in the France Top 14 knows that this chance might not come again after missing the selection 4 years ago.
Masi is one of the 21 players who are going to their first RWC.
Fiji will open the RWC pool game against Namibia on the 10th of next month.
