The Fiji Airways Men’s National 7s side is looking to repeat their Rugby 7s World Cup victory in Cape Town this weekend.

In an interview after thrashing France 31-0 this morning in their first match, Fiji 7s player Pilipo Bukayaro says they will build on their performance for the next two days and they want to achieve what they did during the World Cup.

He says they were disappointed about the results in Dubai last weekend and they are working on not repeating that result.
