GLOBAL sevens superstar Perry Baker will make his first-ever visit to Fiji as he joins Mike Friday’s Select Sevens side for the 2026 McDonald’s Coral Coast Fiji 7s.
Baker’s arrival adds even more firepower to a team already stacked with world-class talent.
The squad now features Olympians Jerry Tuwai, Semi Kunatani, Ireland 7s legends Terry Kennedy, Jordan Conroy and Harry McNulty, Wales maestro and tactical general Luke Treharne, former All Blacks 7s playmaker Gillies Kaka, Matai Leuta and Baker who is a two-time World Rugby Sevens Player of the Year.
Widely regarded as one of the most electric players to ever grace the game, Baker brings blistering pace, dazzling footwork, and a proven try-scoring résumé that has captivated fans worldwide.
“I’ve always wanted to experience Fiji and the Coral Coast 7s for myself. The tournament is internationally known, the fans are incredible, and the atmosphere is something every player hears about. I’m truly excited to get out there, play some great rugby, and feel that Fijian energy firsthand,” Baker said in a press release by Coral Coast Fiji 7s organisers.
Head coach Mike Friday added, “Having Perry join this exceptional group—Olympic champions, world-class finishers, and iconic playmakers—sets the stage for something special. This squad represents the very best of sevens.”
Fans across Fiji and the global rugby community are eagerly anticipating the opportunity to witness Baker’s trademark speed and the combined brilliance of Tuwai, Kunatani, Kennedy, Conroy, McNulty, Treharne, Kaka, and Leuta.
Together, they form a sevens dream team ready to put on a spectacular show at Lawaqa Park.
