In a twitter post, Bainimarama said this is a well-deserved accolade for our own Jerry Tuwai.

He says we know Jerry is far too humble to sing his own praises but with 18 cup finals, one Gold medal, and three World Series titles, he’s not only the man of the year in 7s Rugby but he is one of the greatest players of all time.

Sevens legend, Waisale Serevi also took to twitter to congratulate Tuwai on his achievement.

In his post, Serevi congratulated Tuwai and said he is proud of what Tuwai has been able to achieve.

Serevi also thanked Tuwai for all that he has done for Fiji adding that there is more to come for Jerry.
