7s ready to rumble
Ba
Amidst all the price hikes and daily struggles for survival, a ray of hope shone with great news that our men’s and women’s 7s teams are already adjusting themselves to the atmosphere in Toulouse, France.
Fiji Airways Men’s 7s team and Fijiana 7s teams are ready for some tough action this weekend.
While our boys will play without double Olympic gold medallist Jerry Tuwai, there is an equal amount of excitement and hype about Reapi Uluinasau joining the squad, ready to make her debut in the HSBC WRSS in Toulouse this weekend.
Fijiana 7s are in Pool A with Australia, USA and South Africa. Rugby pundits will call it the ‘pool of death.’
Australia is currently leading the HSBC WRSS Women’s points table with 80 points, winning both Dubai legs, Seville and Langford while finishing in the third place in Malaga. USA is ranked third after winning the Malaga 7s and South Africa on the fourth place.
Fijiana played the Cup finals in Dubai, losing to the Aussies. Our women are yet to secure a win this season.
Hopefully, France is a lucky charm for them. Wishing both our sevens teams all the very best in all their games this weekend.
Toso Viti, toso!
