The Fiji Airways Fiji men’s 7s side has made a commanding start to their Hong Kong Sevens campaign, defeating Germany 42-5 in their opening pool match.

Fiji set the tone early with a fast-paced attacking display, running in multiple tries to take control of the contest and showcase their intent in the tournament’s 50th edition.

Terio Veilawa led the charge with a double, while Filipe Sauturaga, Apete Narogo and Tira Welagi also crossed the line.

It was also a memorable outing for debutant Tomasi Stark, who marked his first appearance with a try.
