The Fijiana 7s team has advanced to the knockout stage of the HSBC Hong Kong SVNS after a convincing 24-5 victory over Great Britain 7s in their final pool match. This win sees the Fijiana squad poised to face Canada 7s in their next challenge.
During the match, the Fijiana showcased composure and discipline, capitalizing effectively on Great Britain’s mistakes. They established dominance early on, scoring three tries to secure a commanding 19-5 lead at halftime. Ilisapeci Delaiwau initiated the scoring, followed by a double from Lavena Cavuru, who also converted both of her tries. The Fijiana sealed their victory with a final try from Adi Mereani Rogosau in the 14th minute.
Great Britain managed to score only once, with Lauren Torley finding the try line in the first minute, but they struggled to keep up with the Fijiana’s structured and aggressive approach throughout the match.
Reflecting on their recent performances, the Fijiana team has shown resilience and growth. Previously facing setbacks, including a narrow defeat against Great Britain at the HSBC Vancouver 7s, the team has demonstrated an ability to rebound and learn from their experiences. The victory over Great Britain in Hong Kong marks a significant turnaround, enhancing their confidence as they look ahead to competing against the Canada 7s.
As they continue their journey in the tournament, there is a sense of optimism surrounding the Fijiana squad. The support from fans and the potential for growth based on their recent performances could serve as a powerful motivator, allowing them to build on their successes and pursue greater achievements on the international rugby stage.
