The wife of outgoing coach of the gold medal winning 7s team Natalie Ryan says with Ben having a number of offers from various clubs and countries, they could choose to be anywhere in the world or back in Fiji.         

Natalie says Ben has done what he had come to do.

She says Ben’s achievements are the ones that will be remembered by the entire nation of Fiji and the world.      

She says Ben has always helped each and every member of the 7s team and always treated them equally.

When asked on who she will miss the most, Natalie became emotional saying she has made a lot of friends during their stay.

Natalie Ryan says they now want time to spend with family back in England.

She says her experience in Fiji is something she will treasure for the rest of her life.
