Commodore Tawake says this is a tremendous achievement by the Fijian 7s Head Coach, Management and the Team who have toiled tirelessly with commitment, sacrifices and diligence in making our country and all Fijians globally proud. He has thanked Fijian 7s Head Coach Ben Gollings, his management, players and their families.
