Timoci Tavatavanawai's Special Surprise | Sky Sport

‘Jimmy the Bruss’ left Fiji at the end of 2017 to further his rugby career in New Zealand. He hadn’t seen his parents since he left and sadly, his father passed away in December. He was unable to attend the funeral due to the border restrictions at the time. Yesterday, Moana Pasifika surprised him by flying his Mum to New Zealand.

[@serusven40]

A very inspiring moment for Jim n a great job for Arron n the management. Vinaka Moana for a great season

During the voyage over, in trying to get to Fiji. The elimination process of the weak and sick took place out in sea and left only the strongest to set foot on ground. It's the same for other Pacific islanders which made us more resilient and tough. We are descendants of the strongest that made it through the voyage.

For the Family..

[@waitahamangi]

Beautiful 😭

[@slickoner1673]

Most destructive winger in world rugby right now. If I was abs selectors Timoci would be one first names on the list. His form speaks for itself. Over past 3 years we have lacked players with Physicality only player that fronts up is Ardie and odd occasion Patrick Tuipulotu but we need more players that love the contact. We use to be bullies of world rugby.

[@MusMasi]

what if he wants to play for fiji? habosi on one wing tavatavanawai on the other?

[@John.Smith679]

@@MusMasi 100%

[@jonlomas834]

What about Caleb clark

[@slickoner1673]

@@MusMasi if given the opportunity most Pacific islanders would play for The All Blacks then their home nation. To put on that All Blacks jersey is like reaching the pinnacle of Sports. Most rugby players that leave their homelands for Aotearoa has that exact same thought. NZ will bring the best out of him as it's shown already.

[@laisaann5361]

@@slickoner1673 He isnt one of those fijian guys that aims to play for AB’s, as mentioned in fiji one News, he has already signed for Flying Fijians and says that it was his dream to wear the white and black jersey. But yeah, he also would like to play for AB but only to wear the Crusaders Jersey. We went in the same school in QVS, and one thing i know that he hates Team AB’s
