She is the first rugby player to score 4 tries in one match in the Olympics.

Uluinasau who scored a try just after 14 seconds yesterday, got Fiji’s second try as we led 14-5.

Uluinasau then got Fiji’s third try just before half-time as we led 19-5.

The Fijiana 7s team got their fourth try from Ana Maria Naimasi to lead 24-5.

Uluinasau then got another two tries before Lusiana Likuceva scored the final try for Fiji for our 41-5 win over Brazil.
