The Fiji 7s team at the Cape Town 7s [Source: World Rugby]
The Fiji Airways men’s 7s team does not want a repeat of the humiliating performance in Cape Town tonight.
Captain Kalione Nasoko says with the pool matches done and dusted, the players have shifted their focus on the next phase, and that is the quarterfinal clash against Spain tonight.
“I think we have done well but there’s room for improvement where we need to step up our preparation. We going back and focus on our recovery and work on our mistake and ready to come back.”
