The victorious Fiji Airways National Men’s 7s team has arrived home with the 7s World Cup.
The Melrose Cup has come home after a lapse of 17 years.
Back in 2005, the team led by coach, Wayne Pivac and captain, Waisale Serevi delivered a memorable win beating England in sudden death during the semi final which also featured our current coach, Ben Gollings playing for England. We went on to beat New Zealand in the final.

17 years later, Gollings and the most decorated 7s player in the world, Jerry Tuwai and captain, Waisea Nacuqu are leading the team back from victory in the 7s World Cup in Cape Town.
The players living in the west will stay back in Nadi while those players living around the Suva/Nausori area will arrive at Nausori Airport at about 7pm.
The Fijiana 7s team who have had their best finish at 5th place in the World Cup are also coming back on the same flight.
Stay with us for coverage of the team’s arrival.
