VODAFONE Fiji 7s prop Mesulame Kunavula is looking forward to the Hong Kong 7s next weekend.
The young Nadroumai, Nadroga lad said being chosen for the Hong Kong team was a blessing.
“I would like to thank the Almighty God for giving me this opportunity and after a good start at the Wellington and Sydney 7s I was looking forward to be part of the team to Hong Kong and I am happy to be named to be part of the team.
“I’ve improved some of my weaknesses and thanks to coach Gareth Baber for showing me my mistakes and he has helped me improve on it and I hope that whatever I learn from the training sessions will be displayed on the field,” Kunavula said.
The 21-year-old said he couldn’t believe that one day he would be playing at that stadium that he usually saw while watching Hong Kong 7s at home when he was a young kid.
“I know everyone loves to watch the Hong Kong 7s and there is a saying that if you haven’t played in the Hong Kong 7s then you’re still not a real 7s player.
“This is where we will have to show our ability, talents our mentality if we want to win Hong Kong and I know this meant more to the Fijian people so I’ll try my best to win this,” he said.
Fiji is pooled with New Zealand, Wales and Japan at the Hong Kong 7s next weekend.
