We've always given top rugby teams a scare in the first half and completely faded out after and hour, but now its about 80 mins and beyond.

As we entered half time between Fiji and Australia, I can proudly say 15s rugby is now the number one sport in Fiji. Sevens is now second.
No more are we a Tier 2 rugby nation. No longer should we play Samoa, Tonga, Portugal and Georgia.
We shall play only the top four teams in the world. People might say that Drua laid the platform, but I believe the foundation was relooked immediately when we had failed to qualify for one of the world cups.

Vinaka, FRU and all those involved. Irrespective of the result, we are all so proud. Toso Viti, toso.
