‘There’s a lot of things to learn in Japan and especially the Japanese culture, first of all, you have to learn the Japanese culture and how to speak in Japan and everything just comes through’.
Naua adds he’ll come up against some of his high school friends in the Dominion Brothers side this weekend in pool play.
‘My first time playing at the Coral Coast 7s I think our second game some of my friends are playing in the second game so they’re from RKS and QVS, I think they’ll be surprised to see me at the Coral Coast 7s’.
Tournament Director Jay Whyte believes the Youth competition is growing from strength to strength

The Coral Coast 7s starts on Thursday at Lawaqa Park in Sigatoka and admission is free for three days.
