Sevens maestro Waisale Serevi has urged the Fiji Airways Fijian 7s team to go out and win the Paris 7s in France this weekend.

Serevi who is now coaching the Russian 7s team went on social media to congratulate the 7s team for winning the London 7s and grab the top spot in the 2018/19 HSBC World Sevens Series. “Congratulations to our mighty Fiji Rugby 7s warriors, you have made us proud this weekend,” Serevi posted in Facebook.

“Vinaka coach Gareth Baber for all the sacrifice, Nacani Cawanibuka for looking after the boys for all the nearly die sessions.

“Vinaka vakalevu na waqe ra cauravou. Bring on the #paris7s Let’s take it all home boys.”
