Sevuloni Mocenacagi stands as the sole survivor from the Fiji 7s team that last celebrated victory at the Cape Town 7s tournament, which took place in 2018. During that successful event, Mocenacagi made a significant impact by scoring a try in the final match, where Fiji triumphed over the United States with a score of 29-15, under the guidance of then-coach Gareth Baber.
In contrast, the current squad includes captain Jeremaia Matana and experienced players such as Pilipo Bukayaro, Terio Veilawa, Filipe Sauturaga, Vuiviwa Naduvalo, and Iokimi Vunaki. These athletes were part of Ben Gollings’s team that secured a bronze medal by defeating Ireland 14-7 last year.
As the Fiji 7s team prepares for their next challenge, they aim to leverage the momentum from their recent win at the Dubai 7s to achieve another strong performance this weekend.
This journey showcases the indomitable spirit and resilience of the Fiji 7s players, as they not only aim to recreate past glories but also evolve and thrive in the competitive landscape of rugby sevens. With strong leadership and a blend of experienced talent, the team has the potential to achieve significant outcomes in the upcoming tournaments.
