Fiji Rugby Players

Fiji players nominated but coaches overlooked for World Rugby Awards

Tokyo 2020 gold medallists Napolioni Bolaca and Jiuta Wainiqolo have been nominated for Men's Sevens Player of the Year, alongside New Zealand co-captain Scott Curry and Argentina's Marcos Moneta.

It continues Fiji's streak of having at least one player nominated for the award every year since 2013.

New Fijian Drua signing Bolaca made his debut for the Fiji sevens back in 2019 while Toulon flyer Wainiqolo has never played on the World Series and marked his first appearance at a major international tournament by scoring the first try at the Tokyo Games.
