Fiji Airways Men's National 7s rep Vuiviawa Naduvalo has been nominated alongside Australia's Henry Hutchison and South Africa's Tristan Leyds for the Men's SVNS Player of the Year Award.
The nominees for the HSBC SVNS Awards 2026 were announced last night, and the winners will be crowned following the HSBC SVNS World Championship Final in Bordeaux on Sunday, 7th June.

The other three major award categories are the Women's SVNS Player of the Year, the Women's SVNS Rookie of the Year and the Men's SVNS Rookie of the Year.
