Fiji Airways men’s 7s captain Jerry Tuwai won’t be short of inspiration when he leads the national team out on to AT&T Park in San Francisco this weekend.
The nippy skipper’s biggest fans will be in the stands to cheer him on.
Tuwai’s wife and parents will make their first trip abroad to rally the family hero.
His mother, Seruwaia Vualiku says they have prepared themselves and are ready to cheer Tuwai from the AT&T stand from Saturday.
“For the last week, we have been going buying Fiji t-shit and the sulu to take with us and just on Tuesday I was writing down our banner team Jerry {Tuwai} support.”
Meanwhile, Tuwai has lifted five titles this season in the World Rugby Sevens series and will play a key role in Fiji’s bid to win the World Cup.
Fiji 7s side will play the winner of Japan versus Uruguay in its first game at 3.53pm on Saturday.
The Cup quarterfinal finals start at 10.32am on Sunday while the semi-final begins at 7.40am on Monday and the final is scheduled for 12.49pm.
You can watch the tournament live on FBC TV.
