National rugby sevens forward Semi Kunatani has been challenged by Ben Ryan ahead of this weekend’s USA 7s.

Kunatani made his dream debut in Dubai last year where he featured in every game and the Nadi lock forward was also instrumental in the record 44-nil semifinal win over the All Blacks 7s.

National Coach Ben Ryan said he saw that Kunatani dropped his form in South Africa just a week after the Dubai 7s and he has asked Kunatani to lift his game in USA and New Zealand.


The USA 7s will kick off this Saturday and Fiji will play Scotland at 1:06pm before meeting Australia at 4:02pm.

The final pool game is against New Zealand at 9:50am this Sunday and the quarter finals will start at 1:52pm on the same day.

The semifinals will kick off at 7:32am next Monday while the final will be held at 10:25am.
