“The Uprising Fiji International 7s title belongs to us.”
These are the words of defending champion FWCC Red Rock coach, Lote Rasiga with only one day to go before the competition kicks-off at the TFL Stadium .
With overseas teams like Auckland Invitational, Samoa Invitational and Aussie Thunderbolts in the country to win the tournament, Rasiga has warned them that they will not let the title slip away from their hands easily.
He said that he knows the strength of each team after playing in the Gold Coast 7s final last year where they lost to Wayne Pivac’s team in the final.
Red Rock is Pooled with Samoa, Jim Beam Uprising and Island Breeze.
The Uprising Fiji International 7s men’s competition kicks-off at 10am Friday at the TFL Stadium and the first match is between the Digicel Fiji Barbarians and Marist.
