Tuva women’s youngest player Kelerayani Nagala played an instrumental role scoring two tries in their 24-12 win against the Seahawks at the McDonald’s Fiji Coral Coast 7s.

The 14-year-old says playing alongside her Fiji 7s rep cousin, Reapi Uluinasau, is something she can tick off her bucket list.

Nagala says the atmosphere at her first Coral Coast tournament is unforgettable, especially as she hopes to gain invaluable experience to use in secondary school-level competitions.
