The Digicel Fiji 7's coach Iliesa Tanivula has hailed his troops as the real fighters.

Tanivula made the comments today after returning with the Gold medal from the World Games in Taiwan.

Fiji lost their final pool match against Argentina 17-7 on Friday but made a grand comeback the next day to beat favourites South Africa in the semifinal and then went onto win the final over Portugal by 43-10.

Tanivula said Fiji 7s players have proved what they are capable of.
