Setefano Cakau is no stranger to the 7s circuit and his inclusion in the Fiji 7s men’s management team has brought the team members together in terms of discipline on and off the field.

Cakau told fijivillage News that he is reminding the players that their body is their biggest asset going into this tournament, and they should look after it well to defend the gold medal.

According to him, he has seen major improvements in how the team has changed in terms of training and mental preparation ever since he joined the team.

He adds it was tough to pick the final 15 players for Paris and encouraged those who got dropped to continue to train.

According to the Fiji Rugby Union, the past few days have been all about family who have been the main supporters who played a crucial role in preparing the team for this journey both on and off the field.

The Fiji 7s team left Suva for their flight to Paris today.

Fiji is in a tough pool with hosts France, USA and Uruguay.

The Men’s 7s competition will be held from the 25th to the 28th of this month.
