SAPPORO, Japan (Reuters) - Samu Kerevi's family will celebrate his first and possibly only match against Fiji with a massive barbecue and celebration on Saturday, as the Australian vice-captain runs onto the field in their Pool D World Cup opener at the Sapporo Dome.

The 25-year-old, whose elder brother Josh trained with the Fijians this week, is leaving Australia after the World Cup to play for Suntory in Japan and is not eligible for the Wallabies under the 'Giteau law'.
