The Vodafone Fiji 7s team found their way back to Paradise for a special school visit which will have a lasting impact for rugby.
As part of rugby’s character‑building values of respect, solidarity, discipline, integrity and passion, most tournaments leave behind a lasting legacy that makes a meaningful and permanent contribution to society.
In conjunction with the tournament sponsor, the local organisers have implemented an exciting and worthwhile legacy programme called HSBC Adopt A Country.
The Fiji men’s team visited Paradise Elementary School in Las Vegas where the Olympic champions were treated like heroes.
Captain Osea Kolinisau says it is important to connect with the locals wherever they go and spread the love of rugby.
Meanwhile Jerry Tuwai has been listed as one of the seven players to watch this weekend.
Tuwai has scored 16 tries this season.
Barring any upsets, Fiji is expected to meet either Canada, Wales or France in the quarter finals, we will meet England in the semifinals and South Africa or New Zealand in the Medal Final.
Fiji will take on Japan at 12.09pm tomorrow in the first pool match. We will take on Scotland at 3.08pm tomorrow while Fiji plays its final pool match against Australia at 9.50am Sunday.
The Medal quarter finals start at 4.16pm Sunday, the semis will be held at 9.44am next Monday while the final will kick off at 1pm next Monday.
