The Fiji Airways Men’s 7s team has finally won a World Sevens Series title after a 22 tournament dry spell.
This after their 19-5 win over Spain in the Dubai 7s final this morning.
Spain led 5-nil after two minutes through their star Pol Pla.
However, it was all Fiji afterwards with three unanswered tries.
Filipe Sauturaga ran in for the first try while captain Jerry Matana and Ilikimi Torosi touched down over the dotted line for the national side in the second spell.
Sauturaga was later named Player of the Final.
Coach Osea Kolinisau says they’ve finally got the monkey off their backs after lifting their first title in two years.
The emotional coach says the team went through a lot in those winless years and he thanked the players families for always standing by them.
