24Sevens: Flash tornado, King of Ba and Jerry’s room

Episode 3 of World Rugby’s new series 24Sevens has some fun behind the scenes action in the Fiji 7s team camp during the HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series in Hamilton, New Zealand in January.

The new episode was released last week on the World Rugby Sevens Series website and social media pages.

There has been 170 thousand views so far.

Part 2 of the episode shows Alasio Naduva knocking on hotel room doors in an attempt to wake up other players and tell them to get ready for morning devotion at Jerry Tuwai’s room.

There was also a fun joking session between Waisea Nacuqu and Naduva during their ice bath session after training – this is two days before the tournament starts.

Nacuqu was asked by the interviewer to introduce Naduva and in response, he said Naduva was the “flash tornado”.

But the funniest moment came when Naduva said Nacuqu was the ‘King of Ba who loved soccer.

The Fiji Airways Men’s National 7s was bundled out of the Hamilton 7s Cup competition after being beaten 26-10 by Argentina.

The national side eventually finished in 9th place at the Hamilton 7s after defeating South Africa 12-5 in the play-offs.
