Former NRL star Semi Radradra wasn’t expecting a warm welcome in San Francisco but he is quickly realising just how far support for the Fiji Airways Fiji 7s team reaches.
In the heart of downtown San Francisco, a special event was put on just for the Fijian sevens team yesterday.
It included a traditional vakamalolo welcome by Fijian warriors who have spent the week flying the flag with public performances – an effort Radradra says has not gone unnoticed.
Radradra told 1 NEWS that they know that the Fijian community is very strong.
Fiji coach, Gareth Baber has also thanked clubs for supporting the campaign.
Baber says each of the clubs that he contacted almost a year back realised how important it was for these players.
