Swire Shipping Fijian Drua coach Glen Jackson is impressed with how young Drua development player Isikeli Basiyalo is performing so far for the Fiji Airways Men’s National 7s in the HSBC SVNS Series.
Jackson says it was disappointing not to get to the Hong Kong 7s final and win it, but he thinks Basiyalo and the team had a good game.
He says it was a very tight game against France in that semi final, and it was a couple of seconds away from going into the final.
He adds if they had made the final, it could have been a different story altogether.
