Fiji Airways men’s 7s captain Jerry Matana emphasized the importance of maximizing opportunities as his team gears up for the Vancouver 7s in Canada. Matana’s comments followed a narrow 19-21 defeat to South Africa in the men’s cup final at the Perth 7s held at HBF Park on Sunday night.
Despite the disappointment of not securing a win, Matana conveyed a sense of gratitude, stating, “Give the glory to the Man above even though we didn’t get the win.” He acknowledged the need to capitalize on available chances, as the team reflects on their performance.
Matana highlighted the lessons learned during the Perth tournament—valuable insights that the side intends to leverage for improvement. As the team shifts its focus to Vancouver, he noted that they would take the time to evaluate their performance in both recent tournaments and identify necessary areas for enhancement.
The Vancouver 7s is scheduled to take place from March 7-8, and Matana’s positive outlook suggests that with reflection and determination, the team is poised to elevate their game in the upcoming event. This perspective of learning and growth underlines the resilience of the Fiji 7s team as they continue their series campaign.
