Flying Fijians - Frank Lomani & Peni Matawalu
Listen now
Description
Bula Vinaka everyone! We’ve caught up with two rising stars of Fijian rugby as they prepare for their upcoming test against the All Blacks. We hear all about Peni’s antics when Ryan took him under his wing at Glasgow. The smile, the laugh, the stories…. These Matuwalus really are the most magnetic people in the world of rugby and we love them! Frank is hot property but wants to see Fijian Drua win Super Rugby before moving on…. Will it happen? Well the boys have utmost confidence in the upwardly mobile position Fiji rugby finds itself in. So what’s life been like post World Cup and with a new coaching set up? How healthy is the future of Fijian rugby and what did Peni do when he first saw the drinks available at a local Glasgow pub? And what about respect among the Fijian community…. We hear how Peni deals with playing against someone from the same area in Fiji as him (Virimi Vakatawa…) and we’re not sure his coaches will be happy 😂 Ryan and Marc head out to the Lensbury Resort while Max is out doing Max things in Senegal 🇸🇳!  MoN team up with the Absolute Rugby Gang (10% discount code here: https://absoluterugby.co.uk/discount/MON10) for a Flying Fijian Special!
