Tuwai thanks senior players who have taken the responsibility to guide the younger players

Fiji Airways Men’s National 7’s captain Jerry Tuwai has revealed that senior players in the team have played an instrumental role to keep the players together as a family after being away from their loved one’s for more than three months.

The team moved into camp before the second wave of COVID-19 hit Fiji and since then have been together in camp, preparing for the upcoming Oceania 7s and the Tokyo Olympic Games.

Tuwai says one of the big things is staying away from families and he thanked the senior players who have stepped up and took the responsibility to guide the younger players.

The Fiji men’s 7s team will return to action after more than a year when we take on Australia at 4pm this Friday in the Oceania 7’s.

Fiji will then face the Oceania 7s team at 9.30pm on the same day. The national side has two more games on Saturday where they take on the All Blacks 7s team at 4.22pm and Australia at 9.30pm.

Fiji has two games on Sunday as well. They take on the Oceania 7s team at 2.30pm and New Zealand at 8.07pm.

There are six rounds of matches in the Oceania 7s where each team will play each other twice. The highest-ranked team after six matches will be declared the winner.
