Record
When the first South Pacific Games meets in Suva in August, participants can be sure that their host territory is a territory of sporting enthusiasts. Fiji foot ballers have not earned their reputation for nothing.

In 1929, he set a record of 214 not out, which stood until 1959. But in 1933, bowling for Lautoka against Levuka, Viliame took nine wickets for 10 balls— a record probably never equalled.
