Fiji Airways Men’s National 7s captain Jerry Tuwai says he had turned down two overseas contracts in the last two years and never regretted his decision ever since.

Tuwai revealed that his passion for Fiji and his love for sevens rugby has made him the rugby player he is today.

The 29‑year‑old who hails from Buca Bay in Cakaudrove played his 200th match in Singapore last month.

Since making his debut in 2014, Tuwai says playing alongside some experience players has moulded him.

He credited Setefano Cakau, former captain Osea Kolinisau and Isake Katonibau for helping him through.
