Sevuloni Mocenacagi stands as the sole survivor of the Fiji 7s team that last celebrated a championship victory at the Cape Town 7s tournament in 2018. During that final, Mocenacagi made a significant contribution by scoring a try, helping Fiji secure a 29-15 win over the United States to clinch the cup. This achievement occurred under the leadership of coach Gareth Baber.
In contrast, other notable players from the squad that year, such as Captain Jeremaia Matana, Pilipo Bukayaro, Terio Veilawa, Filipe Sauturaga, Vuiviwa Naduvalo, and Iokimi Vunaki, were part of Ben Gollings’ team that recently earned a bronze medal by defeating Ireland 14-7.
Fiji 7s is gearing up to capitalize on the momentum from last week’s victory at the Dubai 7s, as they aim for yet another strong performance this weekend.
The resilience and continuity of Mocenacagi in the team highlight both the challenges and the potential for future success as Fiji seeks to recapture its glory in the world of rugby sevens. The upcoming tournament presents an excellent opportunity to build on recent achievements and inspire a new generation of players. With a blend of experience and young talent, Fiji’s rugby team is poised to make a significant impact in the upcoming matches.
