Fiji’s rugby sevens team will be looking to turn the tables on Uruguay in their upcoming match at the 2024 HSBC Cape Town 7s. The two teams last competed in the HSBC SVNS Series, where Uruguay emerged victorious with a decisive 31-15 win during the Toulouse 7s last year.
The tournament kicks off for Fiji as they take on Uruguay in Pool B on Sunday at 12:38 am, followed by a matchup against Great Britain at 4:19 am. The Cape Town sevens event marks a return to a four-pool structure, albeit with each pool featuring only three teams.
With the Dubai 7s championship title under their belts, Fiji will be eager to demonstrate their skill and resilience against a strong opponent. The hope is that Fiji can build off their recent successes and reclaim their dominance, setting a positive tone for the remainder of the tournament.
