It was an emotional moment for the Fiji Airways 7s side when former captain Kalione Nasoko spoke to them for the last time on Tuesday.

Nasoko left for Scotland yesterday to join Viliame Mata at Edinburgh.

Fiji 7s coach Gareth Baber says they will miss Nasoko as he has been with them for the last three seasons.
