He says the national side was really tested in the first two pool games which were good.

“We thank the boys that they improved in every game starting from the pool stages, that is a good sign as we prepare to feature in the semifinal against Argentina.”

The 27-year-old believes fans should back the side and encourage them.

Dakuwaqa adds he is supporting the team from the south of France with former Fiji 7s rep Josua Vici.

Fiji will play Argentina at 2:30pm today in the second semifinal of the Tokyo Olympic Games.

In the first semifinal, Great Britain faces New Zealand at 2pm.
