I STRONGLY believe with the sevens series starting, Fiji will be the team that would be under the brightest spotlight. Both our men’s and women’s team have done wonderfully well leading up to this tournament. With the men winning the series last season, surely we have left the benchmark for ourselves and others to follow. Some may refer to this year as the golden year for sevens rugby as the Olympic medal is at stake. It’s always good to start the series with a win but wins do not come easily in tournaments. Winning one or two matches does not win tournaments. It has to be a complete team performance right from the start of the first whistle to the final. I am sure Ben and the boys are well aware of the challenges that lie ahead. For us as a nation and rugby loving people the best we can do is remember the boys in our prayers and wish Ben and the boys the best of luck.

Go Fiji, go!
