Traditional flair brings a triumphant end to Sevens Series

Fijisevenstalanoa have never noticed such bright faces along Suva corridor since the military takeover in 2006.

Fiji has been doomed from the dictatorship of military leader Frank Bainimaramara that has left the country into a mess (there is something interesting about his surname - BAINI (in Hindi means Woman) and MARAMA (in Fijian means Woman too) … so we can call him Frank Woman!!!!!

Back to the topic … Fiji won the Scotland Sevens beating arch-rival South Africa 20-19 in Cup final.

No doubt our sevens gladiators at last were able to quench the longing thirst of victory with a splendid performance.

Coach Iliesa Tanivula discovered the chink in the national team’s armor that crashed out of Cup showdown during the London Sevens.

Fijisevenstalanoa earlier said that Fiji should depend on their traditional flair of running the ball to bring back victory to our ‘deprived’ nation.

They exactly did that – there was less contact game played by the players and ball flow was evident in all the games.

Tanivula also did the right thing in giving speedster Orisi Sareki more game time rather then Osea Kolinisau (he played an excellent game in Scotland Sevens).

One superb thing that even the commentators were fascinated about our boys was offloading the ball despite being brought down. This maybe to avoid contact rugby which our boys are not good as seen in earlier tournaments!

Fitness was great in the side and players discipline was the finest compared to previous meets.

Fiji after the win finished second despite maybe the ‘bad luck spell’ from England who had to finish the IRB series on third position. South Africa finished on top.

Fijisevenstalanoa on behalf of the nation congratulates the national side for the job well done in making us proud again.
