Canada is hyped up to welcome the 16 core teams participating in the Vancouver 7s.

The best news is that 40 per cent of the proceeds from the sales of the official 7s program will be ours. I praise the Canadian Parliament for this thought and kind gesture towards a battered but resilient Fiji.

Just as we are coping and slowly moving on with life, our 7s team is coping with the conditions in Canada.

And what a sight to see that Ryan actually trains with the team! A big vinaka vakalevu to Ryan for the talanoa and for overturning the fortunes of our team to become the No. 1 team!

Never before has Fiji achieved a feat of winning two tournaments in a row! Somehow something goes wrong somewhere and then the blame game starts.

The very own people who praise the team for winning start criticising the coach’s calls and decisions made by the team.

I am hopeful that nothing of this nature will happen this week. Win or lose let’s support Ben and our troops in Canada.

All Fijians should be proud of the fact that Fiji is leading the series table ahead of teams such as the US, Springboks, Kiwis and the Aussies who have pumped in millions of cash in developing rugby 7s.

Our prayers were answered when Fiji won last week. Faith in the good Lord will pay dividends. Taliga and Save saved us from the doldrums last week.

This week our boys will need to put up a brave and combined effort to lift the title. I am 100 per cent confident that our boys will be able to repeat the heroics of last week and receive the same ovation they received in Las Vegas.

I wish Ben, Chris, Pate, Naca and the 7s team all the best for that rare back to back title.

I know Fiji is capable to achieve this rare treble. What we need is faith, the mental toughness and the “will to win”!

Toso Viti!
