Former Springboks 7s playmaker Rosco Specman showed his experience to help the McDonald’s Mike Friday’s Selects 7s side as he scored 2 tries to help them thump Taikita Brothers 31-0 in their third pool match of the McDonald’s Fiji Coral Coast 7s Men’s competition this afternoon.
Specman scored in both halves as the Mike Friday Selects scored 5 tries and 3 conversions.
The Ra-based Taikita Brothers had a few chances to score some points but it went begging through basic mistakes and errors.
Experience also played a huge part in this match as the Mike Friday Select 7s side was packed with current and former Fiji Airways Men’s National 7s squad members and a few overseas-based players including Specman and Harry McNulty.
