The Fiji men’s rugby sevens team has made an impressive start in the HSBC Sevens Series, currently sitting at the top of the standings. Under the guidance of coach Osea Kolinisau, the team clinched victory at the Dubai Sevens tournament, defeating Spain with a score of 19-5 in the final.
This success means that Fiji has gathered 20 points, marking a significant milestone as it is the first time in two years that they have topped the standings after enduring a 22-tournament winless streak. Following closely behind are Spain in second place, just two points shy of Fiji. The top five also includes Argentina, New Zealand, and France, with the USA currently at the bottom of the rankings.
In the women’s division, the Fijiana team is in 12th place, having earned just one point from their 10th place finish in Dubai. Leading the women’s standings are Australia, followed by New Zealand and France.
Both divisions will see exciting action as the teams prepare for the upcoming Cape Town Sevens tournament this weekend.
Overall, Fiji’s strong performance in Dubai has reignited hope for fans as they seek to maintain momentum and continue climbing the standings. The anticipation for the Cape Town tournament is building, and there is a sense of optimism surrounding both the men’s and women’s teams as they strive for success on the international stage.
