“The future of 7s rugby is healthy and I just need to keep introducing the new girls to the environment. And keep them occupied and challenge the current squad members for a spot in the series.”

Fuli says these players will need to engage more in rugby through the Skipper Cup competition, the 7s window and other regional tournament.

The more they play rugby, the more they can gain experience and expose them to international competition.
