Sevuloni Mocenacagi stands out as the sole remaining player from the Fiji 7s team that celebrated victory at the Cape Town 7s in 2018. During that memorable final, Mocenacagi made a significant contribution by scoring a try, helping Fiji secure a 29-15 win against the USA, thereby lifting the championship under the guidance of then-coach Gareth Baber.
Since that triumph, other noteworthy players such as captain Jeremaia Matana, alongside seasoned teammates Pilipo Bukayaro, Terio Veilawa, Filipe Sauturaga, Vuiviwa Naduvalo, and Iokimi Vunaki, were part of the squad led by Ben Gollings that recently achieved a bronze medal after overcoming Ireland 14-7 last year.
Looking ahead, Fiji is eager to build on their recent victory at the Dubai 7s as they aim for another top finish in the upcoming tournament this weekend.
This recent history highlights Fiji’s competitive spirit and the legacy that Mocenacagi carries as a link to their past successes. As the team continues to evolve, the dedication of both seasoned and new players can be a strong foundation for future achievements. With the right mindset and teamwork, Fiji’s rugby future remains bright.
