Despite the 28-12 win against Wales in their first pool match of the LA 7s, Fiji Airways 7s team had a lot of disciplinary issues and were giving away penalties.

This has been highlighted by our rugby commentator, Fred Raiwalui who says there were a lot of isolated plays in the first half and Fiji were penalised 4 times for not rolling away at the tackle area.

Raiwalui says there was a bit of a shaky start, but they managed to find their rhythm, especially when experienced players like Jerry Tuwai and Josua Vakurunabili came on to the field.

With a couple of players coming back into the team such as Joseva Talacolo and Iosefo Masi, Raiwalui says it should not take long for them to gel and get their combinations going.

Fiji will face France in their second pool match at 9.31am today and Ireland at 1.05pm.

You can catch the live commentaries of Fiji’s games on Viti FM on 92, 92.2 and 92.6 FM with our commentators, Fred Raiwalui and former Fijiana flanker Mere Moto.
