Wes who plies his trade for the Newcastle Knights will skipper the Fiji Bati but this outing is more special to him then last years World Cup because he will have his younger brother beside him.
“It is exciting to be making my debut for Fiji. Wes played for Fiji at the World Cup and he used to tell me stories about his experience. Being selected into the team has given me a chance to experience what he did and I am loving it,” Kevin said.
The last two week camp for the Fiji Bati team at the Tanoa Hotel in Suva has bought the brothers closer in the sport they love.
