Sevens gladiator Ponipate Loganimasi has been named in the World Rugby 7s Dream Team of the Year, announced at the World Rugby Awards in Salle des Étoiles in Monaco yesterday.

Loganimasi was named alongside Selvyn Davids of South Africa, Antoine Dupont and Aaron Grandidier Nkanang of France, Terry Kennedy of Ireland, Nathan Lawson of Australia and Matías Osadczuk of Argentina.

His inclusion into the Dream Team could be considered as the icing on the cake, after an eventful year of various stints with the Fiji Airways men’s 7s team, the Fijian Drua and as of recently, the FIJI Water Flying Fijians.

Loganimasi was a part of the Fiji 7s team that bagged a silver medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics in France and had played in the previous season of the 2023/2024 HSBC SVNS World Series.
