The Fijian Rugby Union expressed their full support for Tawake, emphasizing his importance to the team and wishing him a smooth recovery. “Samu is a vital part of our squad, both on and off the field. His presence will be missed, but we’re confident he’ll come back with the same passion and dedication he’s always shown,” a team representative stated.
Fans across Fiji and the international rugby community have rallied around Tawake, flooding social media with messages of encouragement. Known for his resilience and dedication, Tawake is expected to tackle his recovery with the same determination that has defined his career.
