Reapi Ulunisau becomes first Fijiana centurion with 100th try

Fiji Airways Fijiana 7s star Reapi Ulunisau has etched her name into the history books after becoming the first Fijian player to score 100 tries for the national women's sevens team.

Ulunisau reached the remarkable milestone during Fiji's final pool match against South Africa at the Valladolid World Rugby Sevens Championship in Spain.

Her 100th try came in spectacular fashion, with the 32-year-old winger and utility back sprinting more than 70 metres to score and help Fiji secure a hard-fought 17-12 victory.

A veteran of both rugby 7's and 15's, Ulunisau has enjoyed an illustrious international career.

She was part of Fiji's medal-winning campaigns at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games and the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, and also represented the country at the Paris Olympics.

Despite the historic achievement, the Fijiana team's campaign suffered a setback in the quarter-finals of the Valladolid Sevens, where they were defeated 40-14 by the United States.

Fijiana will now take on Spain in the seventh-place play-off, scheduled for 11.04pm today.
