VODAFONE presented the Fiji 7s team a total of $24,000 as bonus payments for its outing in Dubai and South Africa.
$20,000 was given for winning the cup title in Dubai and $4000 was given for winning the plate title in Cape Town. Minister for Youth and Sports Laisenia Tuitubou greeted the players upon their arrival at the Nadi Airport yesterday.
Tuitubou thanked the players for their efforts on behalf of the Government.
“It was good to read Ben’s note, we win together and we lose together,” he said.
“Government will support the team throughout next year. Hopefully you prepare well for Wellington and Sydney,” Tuitubou added.
