Digicel Fiji 7s captain Emosi Vucago was a proud man last night in Wellington after his boys beat Pacific rivals Samoa 19-14 in the Cup finals to clinch the New Zealand 7s title.

The Nadali native also dedicated the win to the people of Fiji.
Meanwhile, Digicel Fiji 7s coach, Iliesa Tanivula said that the boys really worked hard for the win, and it paid off at the end of the day.
