Watch NZ, Fiji clash, says New Zealand Deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters
Expect another cracker if the Fiji Airways Fijian 7s team meet up with New Zealand at the USA 7s in Las Vegas this weekend.
New Zealand deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs said this is what rugby means to the two neighbouring countries.
“I have been watching and it is sad to see the guy (Sevuloni Mocenacagi) who did the tackle being banned for four games,” Peters said.
“Going into the USA 7s to miss three games is a loss for Fiji but you are loaded with talents.”
Peters played for the NZ Maori during his playing days.
“I missed out on the final New Zealand Maori team that came here in 1972 and I always regretted that. New Zealand admires great athletes like sports people but I can remember seeing Fiji playing in the 1950s, when you had a fantastic winger in Joe Levula.”
