Fiji 7s captain Jeremaia Matana has made it clear that his team’s objective for the upcoming HSBC SVNS Series in Hong Kong is nothing short of victory. With the tournament approaching at the end of this month, Matana expressed the players’ unwavering focus and determination for a gold medal finish.
“No one aims for second place; we don’t compete to secure silver or reach the semifinals. The boys know exactly what they want to achieve,” Matana stated, underscoring their commitment to excellence. The law enforcement officer emphasized the importance of maintaining performance even under fatigue, as crucial decisions are often made when energy levels are low. “We are putting in extra work to ensure we can keep pushing when we’re tired,” he added.
Despite some setbacks in training due to a viral flu affecting players such as Terio Tamani, Joseva Taladolo, Joji Nasova, and Suliano Volivoli, the team remains confident. They are dedicated to returning to full strength for the tournament, with Matana expressing optimism about their upcoming performance.
This determination echoes Matana’s previous statements as captain during other tournaments, where he emphasized teamwork and resilience as vital components for success. With a strong motivational spirit and a close camaraderie among the players, Fiji fans have reason to be hopeful for a strong showing at the Hong Kong 7s.
As the Fiji 7s team prepares to showcase their skills on an international stage, their commitment to overcoming challenges bodes well for their future matches. This focus on unity and determination reflects the enduring spirit of Fiji rugby and provides fans with hope as they aim for gold.
