Injury Blow - does this signify the end of Rokodiva's flourishing career?

Rugby is said to be one of the most dangerous of many sports played throughout the world.

Injuries either minor or major - are evitable and have become a part of rugby.

Those able to sustain such injuries has gone to become legends but those getting troubled at flourishing stage of their career has been said to have a bleak rugby future.

Young Peni Rokodiva started his rugby career from school grade and represented the national sevens side at the 2008/2009 IRB World Sevens series.

With a shear speed and eye for gap, Rokodiva has been an outstanding player with and advantage of rugby running in his genes.

But lately he has missed some IRB tournaments because of a niggling injury, which now has turned into a horrendous one.

With a lot of hope to shine in London and Scotland Sevens, Rokodiva had been dropped once again from the national sevens team.

It would a heartbreaking for Rokodiva to watch on television the national sevens side play or more worse and hope it doesn’t happen – to lose.

The side will be bit affected by his absence but the question many asking is - will Rokodiva get away from this other part of rugby – INJURY- in future to prevent similar axe from national squad.

Will he be able to turn into a greatest player in sevens arena like his mentor Waisale Serevi.

This question might be troubling him as it does to fijisevenstalanoa because Rokodiva has proved to be a gem in sevens world.

Whilst the sevens season is coming to an end (after London and Scotland sevens) the best thing Rokodiva needs to do is get a break from the pitch.

It’s never wise to risk a thriving career by jumping onto the rugby field while carrying injuries – knowing that the injury might become worse.

All the best to Peni and hope he gets well soon to once again dazzle in the sevens circuit.
