VODAFONE Fiji 7s players are giving their all for the people of Fiji and those affected by Severe TC Winston even running on to the field sick.
Fiji will meet USA in the HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series semi-final in Las Vegas today.
Amenoni Nasilasila is practically living only on pineapples and salty crisps unable to stomach any food because of a bug that infected some players over the past three days.
He, however, was still able to run the length of the field yesterday to score a try against Japan.
“We’ve still got boys vomiting this morning (yesterday). You have got to take your hats off to these boys,” coach Ben Ryan said.
“They are getting on with it. They are showing they are pretty mentally tough.
“They have been throwing up for three days and are not being able to keep anything down.
“They will go to a café and the smell of food will make them throw up. Hopefully, after a good night’s sleep, there will be no more throwing up.”
This season’s top point scorer Vatemo Ravouvou is one of those affected and played only one half of the quarter-final match against Japan yesterday.
