Matt Giteau who plays Inside Centre, Fly-half and Halfback for the Australian 'Wallabies' Rugby Union Team, the Canberra Brumbies and in 2007 with Perth's Western Force, recently visited Sonaisali Island Resort Fiji during a personal holiday. This was recently announced by Sonaisali Island Resort in its Press Release. With a history of rugby in the family, Matt is the son of former Canberra Raiders Captain Ron Giteau. Matt played in the first Test against South Africa in Brisbane, in which the Wallabies ran out 49 to nil winners. Matt scored 2 tries and went on to earn the Suncorp Try of the Year award at the John Eales Medal Dinner.

The Fijian Staff at Sonaisali were extremely excited to meet the Australian Rugby Star on Saturday 9th December 2006 and the many photos taken will surely become treasured keepsakes. With Rugby being such a huge sport in Fiji, Matt's visit certainly was a highlight. Matt enjoyed lunch at the Sunset Terrace Restaurant, the Resort's 1 hr horse riding expedition and had fun on the jet skis around the island. Matt said "I had a great time in Fiji and the jet skis at Sonaisali fly!! The people are so friendly and the food was delicious".

4 ½ Star Sonaisali Island Resort is only a 25 minute drive from Nadi International Airport, yet is a true island escape accessed by a 3 minute boat ride across the lagoon from the main island.
