The first film highlights the family connection between Wales and Fiji ahead of the Nations Championship fixture in Cardiff.
Fiji Rugby, in partnership with CoLab Cymru, has launched the first in a new series of short films celebrating the people, families and stories behind the team ahead of the historic Fiji v Wales Nations Championship fixture at Cardiff City Stadium on Saturday 4 July.
Produced by CoLab Cymru for Fiji Rugby, the opening film tells the story of Sosi and Amele, exploring their family’s journey and the unique connection between Wales and Fiji through rugby, heritage and community.
Moving beyond the action on the pitch, the series offers audiences an insight into the people behind the jersey, celebrating the values, resilience and cultural ties that unite both nations.
The films form part of Fiji Rugby’s wider programme of activity taking place across Wales in the build-up to the fixture, alongside business, cultural and community engagement designed to strengthen the relationship between Wales and Fiji.
Further episodes will be released throughout the week, each sharing a different story and offering a unique perspective on the players, their families and the communities they represent.
Alexandra Otley, supporting Fiji Rugby’s marketing and communications programme, said:
“These stories are about much more than rugby. They celebrate family, culture and the enduring connections between Wales and Fiji. We’re proud to share these personal stories and incredibly grateful to the team at CoLab Cymru for bringing them to life so beautifully.”
The first film is now available across Fiji Rugby’s digital channels, with further episodes to follow throughout the week as excitement builds towards Saturday’s match.
