The Fijiana 7s team is aiming to conclude their season positively at the HSBC SVNS World Championship in Los Angeles this weekend. Despite inconsistent performances in prior tournaments, head coach Richard Walker emphasizes the importance of striving for high standards. The championship in Los Angeles brings together the eight top-performing teams from the series, and the Fijiana secured their spot by finishing seventh.
Walker is optimistic about his team’s potential, stating their goal is to strive for victory. “It’s a brand new series and we managed to make it to the finals in Vancouver; let’s try to recreate that and go one step further,” he mentioned, highlighting the importance of focusing on improvements and the opportunity that the tournament presents.
In their opening pool matches, Fiji will first play against Australia, followed by a contest with France, and will conclude their pool stage against the USA. This tournament serves as a crucial opportunity for the Fijiana 7s to showcase their skills and determination on a significant international platform.
Both the Fijiana and the men’s team have recently secured their spots in this championship, reflecting the ongoing growth and potential of Fijian rugby. The expectation is high as fans look forward to exciting performances that could inspire future generations of players.
Overall, the atmosphere is filled with anticipation, and the Fijiana 7s are not only aiming for success but also to set a strong example through their resilience and teamwork.
