The Vodafone Fijian 7s extended squad members were caught by surprise when a fan visited them at the Uprising Beach Resort in Pacific Harbour yesterday.

It was Losena Kaloulia, the owner of the Flagstaff market in Suva and she gave the players $100 each to help them in their preparation for the Rio Olympic Games in August.

The Nabulini, Wainibuka native has been a strong supporter of the Vodafone Fijian 7s team.

During the recent celebration she made it a point to welcome the players at Nausori International Airport before following them to Suva to join the celebration at Ratu Sukuna Park.

The Vodafone Fijian 7s squad resumed their preparation ahead of the Rio Games and Kaloulia who tagged herself as a ‘crazy fan’ not only donated cash but also gave vegetables to help with the players’ nutrition.

“It was a happy day for me where I got to hug these players especially Jarred Hayne,” she said.

“It was just a day for me to go and visit the boys and give them money and a few vegetables from the market.”
