IT takes courage and commitment to let go of someone we love and to focus on the task at hand. It hurts but never give up, nothing worth achieving is offered easily in life.

This was how former Tailevu Rugby Union forward Peni Tora managed to get over the fear of losing the woman that has supported him and his rugby career and not getting any support when she left. Tora’s wife died of cancer in 2014 when he was still plying his trade with Figeac Rugby Club, France and he only knew of her death when he reached home for a break.

Today, almost two years after the passing of his number one supporter, Tora and his son have managed to return for another contract in Northern France where they are both getting the support from his club also allowing their only son Vili Tora to be educated at Arras, France.
