Two-time Olympic gold medallist Jerry Tuwai

We have respect for all teams, but we have a legacy to defend at the Olympics.

That’s the message from two-time Olympic gold medallist Jerry Tuwai when questioned on the tough competition in this year’s Olympics.

Speaking from Paris, Tuwai says France, New Zealand and Argentina have been performing well this season and they will be some of the teams to look out for.

Fiji will face Uruguay at 3am Thursday in their first match, they will then take on the USA at 6.30am on the same day, before playing hosts France at 1.30am Friday in their final pool match. The Men’s quarter finals will kick off at 7am Friday.

There will be a break on Saturday for the official opening of the Paris Olympics 2024 before the competition resumes on Sunday.

The semi finals will kick off at 1.30am Sunday, and the final will be at 5.45am Sunday.
