Rugby League mania descends upon Suva once again, as the second week of the 2024 NRL Pacific Championships kicks off this afternoon at the HFC Bank Stadium.

Following last week’s matches, week two promises to deliver even more captivating action.

At 3.50pm, setting the intensity of play, the Fiji Residents take on the Samoa Residents side in a curtain raiser match that will display the advancing forces of rugby league prowess within both sides.

At 6pm, the Fiji Bulikula meet the Cook Islands Moana in a match of high stakes, on the path to Women’s Rugby League World Cup qualification.

At 8.10pm, the Vodafone Fiji Bati face the Cook Islands Aitu, where the Bati seek redemption following their 10-22 defeat by the Papua New Guinea Kumuls last week.

Meanwhile, tickets to the matches are sold at Jack’s of Fiji outlets for as low as $15.
