Digicel Fiji 7s team member Lepani Nabuliwaqa is calling on rugby fans in the country to understand that putting together a team to win in the IRB 7s Series is not easy as the results cannot come overnight.

Speaking to Fijivillage Sports, Nabuliwaqa said coach Josateki Savou had only two weeks to prepare a new look team for the Hong Kong and Adelaide 7s which was a tough assignment for him.

Nabuliwaqa used the New Zealand 7s team as an example where they only managed to win the last two tournaments last year but the team has been playing together since 2006.
