ONE of the sevens best in his time was Semisi Naevo.
Around two metres in height, he was a joy to watch.
He won restarts with ease during the 2005/2006 World Rugby Sevens Series and darted towards trylines fending off defenders like sponge.
Those were the skills, precision and power that our sevens team at that time had, with a player like Semisi Naevo.
He never smiled during restarts but only had an eye for the oval ball.
A beast of a man and if he didn’t win the ball then he did knock it back for players such as William Ryder or Vucago to run to the tryline.
Fiji sevens would be blessed if he was still young and could play at the Rio Olympics.
The current team lacks players of Naevo’s calibre.
Watching him play during my primary school days was just fantastic.
