Mr Sevens - aka @Waisale_Serevi - is all about the bigger picture as he helps out new boys Jamaica in Vancouver#HSBC7s pic.twitter.com/BZul11bw5z
He adds the Jamaican team has the talent and the qualities to compete against other big 7s teams, but they will need the support of a good coach and training.
The Jamaican 7s team lost all their pool matches this morning, beaten 24-5 by Great Britain, 50 points to nothing against Ireland and 60 points to nothing against Hong Kong.
🇯🇲 "To be given the opportunity to play against the best teams in the world on the @WorldRugby7s series for the first time is an absolute honor!"
