This is the view of Olympic gold medalist Napolioni Bolaca ahead of the Vancouver 7s this weekend.

Bolaca who is back after almost two years is asking fans to keep the faith.

‘To all our diehard fans who always follow the Fiji 7s side, we may have fallen short in the last 17 tournaments and haven’t won anything, but we truly believe that we can win a title before the Olympic Games in France’
