The Fiji Airways men’s sevens team is setting its sights on making history by aiming for back-to-back victories in the World Sevens Series at the upcoming Cape Town tournament, which begins tomorrow. Despite Fijian glory in various tournaments over the years, achieving consecutive wins at a single leg has remained elusive.
The tournament in Cape Town has introduced a new format, eliminating quarter-finals and allowing pool winners to advance directly to the semi-finals. This change enhances Fiji’s chances of clinching their first consecutive titles in this leg of the series.
Competing in Pool A, Fiji will first face Uruguay at 12:38 AM on Sunday, followed by a match against Great Britain at 4:38 AM. The men’s cup semi-finals will take place on Sunday at 11:56 PM, with the final scheduled for 5:11 AM on Monday. Notably, Fiji last triumphed at the Cape Town tournament in 2018 and will be keen to reclaim the title.
This tournament presents a significant opportunity for the Fiji men’s sevens team to etch their name in the record books. With determination and a solid performance, they have the chance to achieve a remarkable feat that fans and players alike are eagerly anticipating.
In a hopeful light, this could serve as a transformative season for the team, inspiring future generations of rugby players in Fiji and showcasing their relentless spirit on the global stage.
