Visit Fiji

From Our Own Correspondent SUVA, March 25.

A DVICE has been received from Tonga by the Fiji Rugby Union that its in vitation to a Tongan football team to visit Fiji this year has been accepted. It is expected that the visitors will arrive in Suva in August or September, depend ing on the shipping services available.

These interchanges of visits between Tonga and Fiji, which have been going on for some years, do much to foster football among the natives, and the matches are most popular both among Europeans and natives.

Last year Fiji sent a team to Tonga and won the rubber. Keen matches are looked forward to this year, and it is anticipated that the Fijians, who have taken to Rugby in a wonderful manner, will give a good account of themselves.
