MOMENT OF THE DECADE - FIJI VS IRELAND RLWC 2013

FIJI VS Ireland is the second moment of the decade you can choose from!

After an arduous bidding process, Rochdale Hornets dream was realised on October 28, 2013 as rugby league fans from across the world packed into Spotland on a drizzly Monday evening. Only this time they weren’t here to see Hornets vs Keighley – this was the biggest stage of them all.

Fiji and Ireland battled it out in a RLWC pool game which saw some of rugby league’s biggest names take to the field. 

A star-studded Fiji outfit were victorious on the night with a raft of NRL stars on the score sheet. A hat trick from Akuila Uate and tries from Kavin Naquama, Tariq Sims and Korbin Sims sealed a hard-fought win but the event captured the imagination of everyone in the borough of Rochdale as traditional Fijian hymns rang around Spotland.

To select this as your moment of the decade, don't forget to vote on Twitter @RochdaleHornets when the poll opens on New Years Eve.
