The Fiji Airway’s Men’s 7s side can expect a brutal encounter against Samoa in the cup semi-final of the Toulouse 7s and will have to be clinical in defence.

Our top rugby commentator, Antonio Rahiman says Fiji cannot afford to have a slow start against Samoa as we did in the quarters against USA.
He says Samoa which is the most improved side in the World Sevens Series will punish Fiji if we allow them to play.
The journey to gold continues on day three, with four teams still in the hunt. 🥇

Rahiman says Samoa has some big forwards, are very structured in defence and have speedsters like Va'a Maliko who is their top try and points scorer.
