(upbeat music) – It’s in our genes. It’s in our blood. Everything that’s needed
in rugby is sort of incorporated in a Fijian when he’s born. People still can’t
believe that Fijians are really, really good at rugby. (upbeat music) – My name is David Dakuitoga, and I’m the founder of Yamacia Rugby Club. Yamacia rugby is an initiative
to give a second chance to unemployed youths, and minimize the drug use
around the province of Namosi. Rugby would be one thing that
will take their mind away from doing all those things, and get them to do something
positive in their lives. We have limited resources. We train using what we have. We use logs, we use tires, we use anything and everything. What we do makes us
stronger and sort of tougher because guys get to work
even harder than the guys with those modern resources. What we are trying to
achieve is to get boys into the wider world of rugby. We’ve played tournaments in Fiji, Samoa, Australia, and Paris, and Europe as well. When one of my club members get a contract and play in a tournament, my whole body it’s just so excited. My heart it’s just full of joy. Oh, my goodness, it’s just so good, feels so good. Rugby has changed my life in a way that now I’m able to provide
opportunities to other people. I can give back to Fiji as a whole. So, rugby is a life changer.
1st and can you do life in Antarctica it is never spoken so what better platform to talk about it than this channel! ❤

Fiji, Tonga, and Samoa are currently ranked ahead of the USA in world rugby rankings. Fiji is 10th. I’d say they have some pretty decent rugby players.
At least they have a real rugby ball, back when I still lived there most people didn't even play with rugby balls 😂 great job on the video by the way
Deadlifting cement set in a giant piece of rebar in the dirt and hot sun…so cool!

I don't know much about the world. I always feel when I watch great big story.

This is a cool program and looks like an interesting sport. Thanks for the glimpse into the training.
Thank you I love rugby it’s one of my favorite sport and I even get paid for because I play so good
EDIT: plz don’t hate on me sorry for bragging
Lose the accent brother. Your English is terrible. Just speak Fijian and have someone translate it for you
Bula
When people do these things, especially with sports, it makes me pretty happy.
Best rugby team is in new zealand
Go kiwis
I'm Fijian yayyyyy
Look at all that idle land. What do you mean unemployed? Get your asses out of the house and enter commercial farming.
Go Mate Ma’a Tonga 🇹🇴🇹🇴🇹🇴
this is so good. If only our country supports people in the sport industry.
Those don't look like boys, they're all buff! Pretty touch training they have there. I wish my country would focus on sports like this instead of basketball where our shortness put us at a disadvantage.
NO ONE IS BETTER THAN NEW ZEALAND AT RUGBY
sports and nature
After watching this, it feels good being a Fijian
Aswomeeeeeeee videoo
Great Vid thank you
Genetics plays a "huge part" in the Fijians proliferation in rugby and league.
I’m from Fiji 🇫🇯🙂
Sega ni o keda meda laveti keda tiko vataki keda. Sega ni noda i tovo. Laivi ira na vo mera laveti keda. Stop blowing our own trumpet.
O wow thank Great Big Story for making a video about my country🙏
Fiji might be faster than Jamaica
