For the first time in 5 years after the Fiji Airways Men’s National 7s consecutively won the Hong Kong 7s, dual Olympic gold medalist, Jerry Tuwai, will not be part of the run-on team.
Tuwai has been part of the Hong Kong 7s since Fiji won the title in 2015 and assisted the national side lift the title for the fifth consecutive time in 2019.
