The man whose name is synonymous with World 7s Series rugby, Nigel Starmer-Smith, paid a flowing tribute to the Digicel Fiji 7s team on their remarkable return to form and the guile in which they returned to the style of Fiji 7s of old.
Starmer-Smith described them as magical Fiji in his column on the International Rugby Board website saying their performance in the final capped off a wonderful Gold Coast 7s tournament which will, like other tournaments in the World 7s Series, be a very a popular event for years to come.
“It was their (Fiji 7s) new style. They made a commitment about not wanting to go into contact and wanting to go back to the style of Fiji which is about continuous attack, running from everywhere, and that is exactly what they did,” Starmer-Smith said.
“All of their big men stood up, against a team who looked a little passive.”"
