Baker rates Fiji 7s competition

Playing at the McDonald’s Fiji Coral Coast 7s would one most memorable experience for former United 7s star winger Perry Baker.

Baker was one of the members of the Mike Friday’s Selection side. The team included former

Ireland 7s forward Harry McNulty, Semi Kunatani, Matai Leuta and Sevuloni Mocenacagi.

“Great experience to be able to play with a bunch of Fijian guys and with some that I played against in the series,” Baker said.

“It is unbelievable, the crowd, the people, it’s crazy. I’d love to come back here.

“I wish it was done a couple of times in a year; this is great. It’s just so humbling. I’m loving it.” He praised the tough competition provided by the local clubs which pushed many of the international sides out of the top four.

“The youth and kids their skills are crazy. They start playing rugby at a young age and that’s why Fiji is so good. The way they play the ball around I just love it.

“This is why there was not only one tough opponent but the entire Fiji team,” Baker added.
