THE ESPANIA team’s assistance to Fijians has not stopped.

From helping out at the Uprising Beach Resort before severe Tropical Cyclone Winston, yesterday the Spain boys gave the $2000 they won from the “#StrongerThanWinston Rugby 7s Fundraising Appeall” back to the cause.

Tournament organiser and Uprising Beach Resort general manager James Pridgeon confirmed this yesterday saying the Spanish boys had pledged to give their prizemoney back to assist victims of Severe TC Winston.

Spain came through the competition undefeated and went on to defeat Wardens in the semi-final in a close encounter by 15-14.

However, their final against the men in blue from Nasova was more of a one-sided affair as they ran in three tries to one in the first half and another in the second half with Police only managing two in the game.

Spain ended the game with a 24-14 win.

Spanish player Ignacio Martin said having been with the Vodafone Fiji 7s team had helped them as they also helped the national side in working on their weaknesses.

And the win makes the Spanish team confident that they will achieve their aim of getting back into the World Rugby HSBC Sevens series as a core team.

“For us we helped them in their weakness and our weakness was broken open play which the Fijians are very good at so we just try to mend that up and learn how to defend broken play, try to get a pattern again and defence to block the attacking team.

“We’re absolutely confident that we’ll be back into the series,” Martin said.
