More than a hundred people gathered to pay their last respect to former Fiji 7’s manager Isei Rayawa this morning.

Family, friends, and colleagues of Rayawa gathered at the Vunidakua Church in Cunningham, Suva for late Rayawa’s funeral service including the Fiji Rugby Union staff members.

It’s believed the 53-year-old was ill and had recently traveled to India for treatment.

In his time with the FRU, Rayawa also managed the Fiji Warriors, Suva and Macuata provincial teams.

He was the Fiji 7’s side manager in 2013 and 2014.
