The group of 30 is on the island to improve their rugby skills by playing local sides.

Members of the under 16 and under 19 Tahitian team are also keen to be a part of this weeks Te Maeva Nui celebrations.

The group is staying at the Panama meeting house and is hosted by members of the Tahiti Nui association. The team played their first match against Avatiu yesterday and will be playing in the Pacific Computers under 15 college sevens tournament this Friday against local college sides.
