Vodafone Fiji 7s coach Ben Ryan is calling on all Fijians to show their support for the national side as they are expecting a huge turnout of South African fans at Cape Town Stadium.
Ryan posted a video to thank all those who have donated on the fund raiser activity that was organised by the South Bay Davui group where they have already bought the latest Recovery Machines for the players starting from last year.
Ryan says they are all looking forward to an exciting weekend of sevens rugby.
Ryan adds that they will be expecting more videos of well wishes from Fijian fans around the world.
The team visited some schools in Cape Town yesterday and had some sessions with the students.
