Top four ranking is vital - Ben Ryan

The top four ranking is everything and we have to get that seeding early and stay in pole position.

Those were the words of Vodafone Fiji Sevens coach Ben Ryan after a head-start in the race for the 2014/2015 World Sevens Series title and Olympic qualification.

Fiji defeated Samoa 31-24 to win the Gold Coast Sevens final last night with two early tries from veteran Setefano Cakau and a try each from Semi Kunatani, Apisai Domolailai and Jasa Veremalua.

Ryan said the season opener was particularly important given the carrot of automatic Olympic qualification for the top four World Series finishers at the end of the season.
