Fiji 7s captain Jeremaia Matana has strongly asserted that his team’s primary goal for the upcoming HSBC SVNS Series in Hong Kong is to secure victory. With the tournament set to take place at the end of this month, Matana conveyed the players’ steadfast focus and ambition to bring home the gold medal.
“No one aims for second place; our goal is clear: we don’t compete to secure silver or merely reach the semifinals,” Matana remarked, highlighting their commitment to excellence. The captain, who also serves as a law enforcement officer, stressed the significance of sustaining high performance levels, even in the face of fatigue. “We are working extra hard to ensure we can keep pushing when we’re tired,” he added, underlining the need for resilience during challenging moments.
In spite of facing setbacks during training from a viral flu that has sidelined players like Terio Tamani, Joseva Taladolo, Joji Nasova, and Suliano Volivoli, the team remains confident in their preparation. Matana has expressed optimism about their recovery and readiness for competition, reinforcing their dedication to return to full strength ahead of the tournament.
Matana’s determination resonates with his previous comments as captain in past competitions, where he emphasized the importance of teamwork and resilience as key elements for success. The strong bond among the players and their collective motivational spirit instills hope in Fiji fans for a formidable performance at the Hong Kong 7s.
As the Fiji 7s team gears up to display their talents on an international platform, their commitment to overcoming obstacles signals promising prospects for their upcoming matches. This focus on unity and determination reflects the enduring spirit of Fiji rugby, offering fans optimism as the team strives for gold.
