Waqaniburotu out to learn from the best at RWC

He has the potential to lead from the front but for Dominiko Waqaniburotu this Rugby World Cup is all about learning from the best.

The Waikato provincial side loose forward have captained Fiji in the past during the PNC but this time with the likes of Deacon Manu, Sereimaia Bai and Akapusi Qera leading the charges he will take the back seat role and be the understudy for future outing.

Waqaniburotu's earlier rugby years was back at high school in RKS and although he did not make the national team in the younger grades he continued in NZ with the Waikato U-20 team in 2009.

Last year he was selected for the Waikato side in the NZ provincial competition and in the same season made his debut for the Flying Fijians against the Wallabies.

He missed the Europe Tour in November but made himself available for the PNC this season and is one of those players in the team that can play in the locks and the loose forward also.

For the 25 year old from Lau he will be happy in whatever role he is allocated in the RWC knowing that from the opening pool game against Na-mibia they have to show that there will be a contender for a 1/4 final spot.
