Fiji's rugby team is gearing up for the 2027 World Cup with a new, towering talent who's already making waves. Meet Jeneiro Wakeham, a 22-year-old second-rower who stands at an impressive 7 feet tall and weighs around 24 stone. His sheer size and speed have caught the attention of many, including Fiji legend and Drua development coach Nemani Nadolo, who sees parallels between Wakeham and the legendary Will Skelton. But here's where it gets controversial: the club has had to make an international appeal for a company to provide size 17 boots for Wakeham, as they couldn't find any in Fiji. This highlights the challenges that come with having a player of his stature. Despite this, Wakeham's potential is undeniable, and he's already secured a Super Rugby contract with Fijian Drua. Will he live up to the hype? And what does his size mean for his future in the sport? These are the questions that will be on everyone's minds as Fiji prepares for the upcoming tournament. So, what do you think? Will Jeneiro Wakeham become a rugby legend, or will his size prove to be a hindrance? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
