The Westfield Dragons rugby team aims to win the inaugural West 7s Series in Nadi later this month.

Coach Epeli Lagiloa says apart from developing each squad member’s individual talent, the player’s will benefit immensely from winning the $5000 prize-money.

“Winning the prize money is their pay, the club doesn’t have any cut in all the prize money for the tournament. So it’s a full time thing for the boys, i mean they come here from all over Fiji just like their fathers or their uncles coming to Nadi to look for employment. And this is their full time employment.”
