Fiji Men’s National 7s team gold medal-winning captain Jerry Tuwai

Fiji Men’s National 7s team gold medal winning captain Jerry Tuwai says he does not believe he will be around for the next Olympic Games in Paris in France in 2024.

The double Olympic gold medalist says there are a lot of new talents coming through and they have set up the Life After Rugby Barbarians club to help these young players.

He says they want to instill the right mentality into these players so they can flourish.

When asked about how long he plans to play before hanging up his boots, Tuwai says he has plans and people will find out when the time comes.

Tuwai and the rest of the team are currently in quarantine.

They will be reunited with their family at the end of the week.
