Fiji Airways Men’s National 7s Team star player, Jerry Tuwai says that he misses rugby but the break has been a blessing in disguise for him.

Tuwai who is the reigning World 7s Player of the Year, says the break has allowed him to spend more time with his family rather than travelling around the world.

Tuwai has come a long way since his debut in 2014 and went on to win gold in the 2016 Olympics.

The playmaker is Fiji’s all-time leading try scorer in the HSBC 7s series with 134 tries.
