It was a big disappointment, because everyone wants to do well against their old team, but we are all highly motivated for the match with South Melbourne. Masi was spotted playing for the Fiji under-23 side in a tournament in Adelaide. He joined the Morwell Falcons for a couple of seasons before moving to the Wolves, where he was part of the amazing grand final comeback at Subiaco last June. He is used to being part of on-field miracles, but he is not holding out much prospect of a repeat when Fiji takes on Australia. They are bringing most of the same team that lost 3-1 to Australia in the Confederations Cup qualifiers two years ago.
Soccer is still a second-string sport behind rugby union in Fiji.
