Bula, this is Culden Kamea for Teivovo Rugby.

Welcome to my second interview with Barrie Sweetman. Barrie first came to Fiji from New Zealand in the 1960s as a young lawyer, and we covered his early life here around rugby in Lautoka, and then later with Fiji Rugby Union after he moved to live and work in Suva in Episode One.

Barrie Sweetman is a Life Member of the Fiji Rugby Union, a former Senator of Fiji, Chairman of the Fiji Electoral commission, Chairman of the Fiji Electoral Boundaries Commission and Chairman of the Constitutional Officers Forum - Officers Commission, rather.

He was awarded the 50th Anniversary Independence Commemorative Medal in 2020 and the officer of the Order of Fiji OF.

This interview focuses on Barrie's recollections of great games and players from the late 1960s through to the early 1980s.

Over to you Barrie.
