Seruwaia Vualiku and Poasa Vunisa

Poasa Vunisa and Seruwaia Vualiku, the proud parents of Fiji Airways Men’s national 7s playmaker and the greatest 7s player in the world Jerry Tuwai says that Tuwai is not only their son but Fiji’s son.

Today’s World Cup win marks an incredible achievement not only for Fiji but for Tuwai personally who becomes the most decorated sevens player in the world.

While paying tribute to this achievement, Tuwai’s mother Seruwaia Vualiku says despite all of Tuwai’s achievements, he never changed.

Vualiku also shared her message to Tuwai when she bought him his first rugby boots with the message “Knife and Fork” written on it.

Meanwhile Tuwai’s father Poasa Vunisa says he has so much respect for Jerry who has also taught them so many life lessons.

Vunisa adds that he had already told his family before the final that the Melrose Cup will come to their home soon.

Tuwai is from Buca, Cakaudrove, and has maternal links to Nailaga, Ba.
