The captain of the Fiji Airways men’s national 7s team Josua Vakurunabili says the senior players are continuing to guide the eleven new players.
He says they continue to stress the importance of talking to each other on the field.
Vakurunabili says the new players need encouragement and need to be told that despite what happens on the field, they have to continue to move forward as a team.
He adds the new players have been doing well.
One of the new players Iowane Raturaciri was the hero for the Fiji Airways men’s national 7s team in their final pool match against Australia this morning as he scored the last try to secure a 17-12 win.
