FRU,do the right thing.Include SIR, SEREVI and creat no more WAVES.
Observer of USA ( NADRO)
Yes! he deserves to be included and be part of sevens future for Fiji and world. He told the world that Hong Kong would be his last tourney. He has done a lot for the game and his country. He is the sevens wizard and he will be around sevens rugby for a very long time. ( Waisele, thank you) Much blessings.

not only a hong kong farewell but also de world cup next year- he should be allowed to play in both of these tournament!!!! remember he brought 7;s glory back 2 our shore:1st Melrose & IRB 2005-2006 series winner. So, he still has a lot 2 offer-better let him be da coach 4 da next 5 year.

Absolutely - he derserves a farewell run - tagged - "To the first and the last trail of the Wizard of 7's"
jone of feejee
If he passes the fitness test and is on par with his speed and tackling...then why not??
Jay of Raiwaqa
Give Serevi one last chance and see for yourself what he can do. Because its not him alone, as he always said in the past, its GOD thats always with him. Yes he lost in some tuornaments but he always bounce back and dont forget no other Team from any Countries in the world has ever beaten NZ to win the IRB series only Fiji IN SEREVI's LEADERSHIP.
dik iamol of Lautoka
I believe that FRU should for the last time give anther chance to the Garani man to play at HK.

Serevi has done a lot for Fiji in sevens Rugby and maybe he is a bit slow but remember he is playing with another 6 players and even Fiji has a habit of playing with only 6 players at times but still come out the winner.

For the last time,pliz include Wai as he is still super fit,he is playing in big tournaments and he has tons of x-perienced up his sleeve.

But, I know FRU will never listen to our comments on this column.
wantoks from Islanders of Isles
we are been ever fans of great Serevi, Naevo, Ryder, roko and Nabulivaqa

it would be great having them back to make us the so called south seas fans proud.

Go fiji Go.

why doyou have to print his age,that is notthe issue here pls allow me to put a few things in perspective.Linford Christie won the Olympic blue ribbon at 36yrs;George Foreman won the World Heavyweight belt at 40yrs,the other British Champ retired undefeeated at 39yrs and the English won the Rugby 15's world cup as the oldest players on the planet..pote!..the king from Gau..what was that you said.. begiven a farewell..u must be joking mat',he is among the best there is and could score tries with a hand tied to his back..see what happens when he carried the ball over his head to score the try before Tomasi Kama jumped on him..he was telling the kiwis that he could score a try with one hand and the ball carried in that manner..no wonder Kama was pissed!I suspect that the FRU is conspiring with the Kiwis..a conspiracy theory..at any event the maestro should still be the coach or when the FRU picks someone the skills,tactician,strategy,kicking,passing,attacking...etc..etc...etc coach assisting the FRU coach.taki!

akuila of Levuka
Bring back Serevi, Ryder, Naevo, Nabuliwaqa Bolavucu, Roko...and who says Vunibaka is old? Vunibaka was certainly the missing link in the current Fiji team, for he can create space and deliver, tackle hard, and with brilliant speed. I dont know where that Prison Warden Coach was looking during the last Provincial Sevens in Lautoka.

YES YES YES, and why not. he is still playing at top level and still winning and dazzles with his magics.7's RUGBY selectors should reconsider bringing him plus William Ryder back.
Seymour of Suva Fiji
Serevi is one of the talented player in Sevens no doubt about it, and yes he should be given a chance to either take part if he passes the fitness test to play for Fiji or asked to join the management that goes to Hong Kong for his valuable technical support under the Official Fiji Banner.

Looking at playmakers positions played by most nations even Kenya, PNG and USA it is evident the impact serevi has on the game, style of play, goose steps and side steps for a start. He is no doubt the legendary Pele for Sevens Rugby.

May god bless him and his family.

No. Please Sir revi, quit now. Thanks for the memories fo yester-years..BUT we need to develop our youngsters with all due respect...

Win or loose, I just want to watch my man ,one more time in HK with that Fiji uniform.I still believe that he can still bring home the Cup again.Come on FRU,give another chance to the man,that has done alot to your organisation,the guy is bigger,smarter,faster and better than anyone else in that office.He still can run the show,and beat the best.

Wise Man of Melbourne
All great sportsmen know when its time to quit. Quiting when you are at the top is the smart thing to do. Leave gracefully so the world will remember the star you are. One bad performance can ruin your reputations.Remember Sir revi you are not the young man you used to be.As a sportsman myself we always think we can still do it one more time but when our body fails us, on the field we are disappointed with ourselves and thats what the fans don't see. On the field you must hold your own. The spirit is willing but the body is weak. FRU should let you go as a moral booster for the team your presences and words is what the boys need. Don't compete for their positions they may lose their respect for you.Surrender gracefully the things of youth.
Rabba of Kiribati
Same rule should apply to all the players if they want to represent Fiji in Hong Kong and Serevi is no exception. If he is available and if he passes his fittness test then i think FRU should give him a good farewell in Hong Kong.

Serevi is a king of 7's, he has done a lot for rugby and he will continue doing it as he has got a true FIJIAN HEART.

It's time FRU realises his contribution towards rugby in the country where Serevi has marketed Fiji from a dot to a top rugby playing nation in the world.

Vinaka Tau for your hearty contribution to the country.

God bless you and your family for the sacrifices you have done for our beloved nation.
Ophelia of Santa Rosa, USA
C'mon FRU..give him another chance to play. He has done so much to our beloved country, in the field so as Tourism.
Deepak Singh of Suva
Didnt we farewell him already? I mean, how many farewells does a player need to really give another player a chance. Come on Serevi, we saw how you dazzled everyone with you rugby moves. You are already a legend. Its time you take a backroom staff job at the FRFU to help younger player break into the team. We understand that you still have it in you to go all the way, but its time you stepped down and let the young players make the grade. Dont you think ?
Bramleys of germany
of course a very Big YES to tamai-una for another chance to show the world of 7's Rugby that what one man can do like him is very hard to find and mostly in 7's.he deserves one very last chance and we all agreed o'er here in germany to let him have another go for the last time so we can all farewell him from wherever we are in the world by watching them in HK-7's...

Well I believe that Sir Revi still has what it takes to be a champion sevens player. He has done so much for the people of Fiji here and Abroad.He has brought happiness in the time of heartache He has brought smiles in the time of sadness.
What has Tuivanuavou broUght for the people of Fiji absolutely nothing.His personal grudge against the great man should be left in the OLD FRU office.
I trully believe that Joe savou is just a scapegoat of the CEOS EVIL AGENDAS. But at the end of the day LIGHT always overcome DARKNESS. If the management do not REACT quickly then we will all drown in a sea of darkness that was once the playground of the FIJI team during CAWANIBUKA-TABULUTU-CAMAs Reign all we managed was the PLATES the BOWLS and the FORKS nothing more.
Until SIR REVI came into the picture and everything changed we won the world cup we won the IRB we won tournaments.
Now they are trying to DISCARD him again

My HUMBLE requests is to please accept SIR REVIs last wishes and let him play in Hong Kong even if plays just two minutes for each game please let him go he would also be a lot of help to SAVOU and bring us the glory like he has always done

PLEASE ACCEPT SEREVIS WISHES TO REPRESENT HIS BELOVED COUNTRY FOR THE LAST TIME IN HIS FAVOURITE HUNTING GROUND "SO KON PO" OR HAPPY VALLEY WHERE THE GREATEST PLAYERS ON EARTH ARE BAPTISED WITH FIRE

In the last year he's been inconsistent when on the field.He should just let the young ones prove themselves.He has done the hard yards and we're thankful for that. but it's time to move on.
Hustlers of Fiji
He is the LEGEND. After all that he has done for Fiji, the Rugby House can atthe very least give him the opportunity to showcase his legacy once more to the world and the people of Fiji. FRU owes atleast this much to the people of Fiji and to the Legend.

PS: Can the Fiji Times please publish all the replies in this forum on the newspaper so that those in charge can atleast notice what the people want.

We do not need to ask any question about Serevi.The Fiji team needs leadership on the field to cool things down when there is pressure.Go Serevi.HK is wating for you.Ratu Timoci stay home and do your job.

Should sevens legend Waisale Serevi, 39, be given a farewell run at the Hong Kong Sevens this year for his sparkling contribution to the game and Fiji's name on the international arena?

yes he should. He is the reason that fiji has made a name in IRB 7s. He is the King of Fiji Rugby. We must give him the chance to shine one more time for fiji in hong kong. To see him play in hong kong one more time that is the best gift anyone can give to fiji. Serevi i salute you for your triedless diecation to Fiji 7s.

Kris of Australia
Yes why not.Serevi should be given on last chance. He may not be as quick as he used to be but he has so many other special talents in the game to compensate this. Go
on - give him one more chance to not only entertain us Fiji supporters but the rest of the world.
abhilash of sydney
yes sure why not. he will again be the star attraction in Hong kong as he has been for so many years

Instead of wasting money on Tavanavanua and other staff at Rugby House going to HK, Tamai Una should be given the green light.

What Tomasi Cama did to him is now being done by Savou. The two men know that Tamai Una outsmarts and outshines them in all aspects of 7's. What Jo Savou should do is shove his pride aside and let the gentleman into the side - he will bring to Savou what Savou needs to prove that he is a good coach - trophies at Wellington and HONG KONG. Otherwise, no dice Jo, na vere vakabau a caka vei Tamai Una, will also be done to you, mark my words!!

Good Luck to Tamai Ruci and the boys.GO! FIJI! GO!

He should be given another chance, cos we all know that he is the WORLD'S NUMBER ONE. Everyone enjoys watching sevens, when the wizard is on the field. All other country they look up at the maestro, where as here in his home country we treat him just like a door mat. FRU should give another chance to play or to coach the national team. Vinaka tamai Una na vosota.

He is the best player sevens has ever seen..so he must be given a chance to play at HK becuase he gives the cofidence to the team by being with them.No one can take his place he is a mastermind and he belongs to Fiji sevens team.
Ishika of suva
yes obsolutely he should be playing in Hong Kong
erasmas@Raiwaqa of Suva
Of course Y not!! No two ways about it!
He has done ALOT for Fiji!
Lex of Natewa
why not the FRU selectors pay a visit to a local 7s Tournament and watch the Sir Revi's Drifters Team. They exhibit the real class and combination for the ideal Fiji Team. They dazzle the crowd at Nalili 7s last week and am sure FRU is missing the services of players like Leps, Duidomo, Bobo's dro etc to name a few. maybe consider Revi the mastermind of the team. i dreamt last nite of the upcoming Wellington in which our team did not make it to the 1/4s. i prayed to God this morning not to hurt my heart anymore after 2 consecutive disappointments in the 1st 2 series..
Tesa of Suva
well, evrybody know Sir-revi. He's one of a kind. He's a King, Master, Legend, Wizard, Teacher in 7's and also the Hong Kong's son. To answer the question, YES Serevi should play in Hong Kong. God will create another history when Serevi will play in HK...
rajesh of fiji
fru should give him chance to play in hong kong.pls give him the chance .we all make mistake no one is perfect.god bless the king of 7s rugby.
thanks my brother waisele for playing for fiji and winning the rwc 7s cup .irb title.my prayers goes to your lovely family too.moce bro.
Baivi.Koroiravu of Suva
Yes i think he should be given the chance to play his last Hong Kong Sevens.
Niko of England
he deserve it,because this the man who has done so much for our country in rugby,will be great to see the wizard of seven to play his last game in the stadium where he creat a legacy.For me its not about winning the Hong Kong sevens its about the last time to see the greatest seven player of all time once more,the only question is what will the FRU do to repay him for what he has done to rugby in our country, Farewell Maestro
Trip of Sinai Desert
If the FRU not let him run on,ok give him one more change as Coach,pliz Tavanavanua.
John of UK
Put the differences a side!! Slot him him and give him another Run out. This man is a Legend, the magnificient,the maestro and the founder of Goose Step.His talent has lifted the Fiji Flag known throughtout the Globe in the 7's Series, throughtout the time he started playing. He has done alot.!! Aren't you proud of him as a Kaiviti? Every single person makes mistake, forget the past and lets crack on with a new era. Love will only give Hope...GOD BLESS SEREVI...
Fijian Community Lebanon of Tyre South Lebanon
Of course Yes, Yes, Yes. Why not.
This gentleman has most of his time dedicated himself avalable to the Fiji Rugby and has given us glorious moments.
We have celebrated some national holidays in Fiji and this gentleman did contributed his time for this event.
He even fasted during the tournament praying to our God Almighty for the team to win.
We, the Fijian community in Lebanon do support this motion. Give him last chance.
May God Bless Serevi and May God Bless Fiji.

Rugby Fan of USA
Serevi has had all the chances in the world. All the folks that are blaming FRU, should ask themselves why this has not been done. If he is the only one, why was he asked to step down? Only because Serevi knows exactly what he has been doing to FRU. FRU has done way too much for him and he has been just thinking of himself. If you have travelled with him to play, you will know how much expenses this guy leaves for FRU to pay even though he is given all the allowance allowed to him. He is too self centered and thought that FRU will never dismiss him. No one is invicible. Peace.
Koroi of Sacramento USA
We should honor those who work hard for us.Sirevi bring honor,pride,and discipline to the rugby of fiji.If no Hong Kong,let talk to Bainimarama about honor him in Fiji.
Ratu mai Hillsborough of Okaladi, Aotearoa.
Can!t some people use their eyes and head as to what Wai has been doing after he was forced to stand down from coaching ? Hasn!t he been using his talent and energy in preparing a shadow Fiji 7!s team ! From this,we can clearly see that he still has the interest, passion and love to do what God best blessed him with. I wish one thing : if the Fiji 7!s team looses the Wellington and LA sevens tournaments , than FRU to invite Wai and his management to take over the Fiji!s heroes in the rest of the IRB 7!s competion. Hows that ? Deal or No deal !

Hey Guys..Only Waisale can answer that..you guys should have known that by now..While you guys are busy writing on this blog..he must have been doing his preparation for HK 2008..Doin the hard yards..Only a sevens player will now that..not a wrestling fan from Cakaudrove like Hulk.

What else has this man got to prove. What he is doing is only thinking of himself and doesnt want to give a chance to upcoming younger players. Is he scared of life out of the public limelight.
cho! of suva
I DO NOT KNOW WHETHER HE SHOULD PLAY OR NOT. BUT ALL THAT I AM SAYING IS THAT THIS MAN MUST ALWAYS BE PART OF BOTH 7S AND 15S TEAM MANAGEMENT.

WAI HAS ALOT TO CONTRIBUTE TO OUR PLAYERS IN MANY WAYS - SKILLS, MOTIVATION, INTERGRITY, LEADERSHIP, TEAM BONDING, SPIRITUAL ETC ETC. HE HAS MANY THINGS TO OFFER IN ORDER TO BRING A FIJIAN YOUNG MAN NOT ONLY AS RUGBY PLAYER BUT TO BE A SUCCESSFUL REAL MAN AS WELL.

RUGBY IS NOT ABOUT PLAYING RUGBY ONLY BUT ITS ABOUT DEVELOPING AND NATURING YOUNG FIJIAN MEN TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN LIFE - SHOULD BE THE ULTIMATE GOAL.

YOU DEVELOP A CHARATER OF A PERSON FIRST, RUGBY AND RESULT WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY RESOLVED. THAT IS WHERE WAI AND TATALA RINAKAMA MAKES A LOT OF DIFFERENCE WHEN THEY INVOLVE IN RUGBY MANAGEMENT. THEY START FIRST WITH CHARACTER FIRST. OTHER THINGS WILL FALL INTO PLACE.
PLEASE MAKE THE WISE CHOICE. FRU KNOWS.

Eileen Williams of New Zealand
Yay, Go Serevi Go! Servei for PM too.
Vegas of USA
No question there. Yes we should let him play one last time for his country. We should be honored to see the wizard in action in the flesh one last time. His pressence alone in Hong Kong says it all. We can tell our kids that we watched him play in the day because from here on out, stories and video tapes don't do justice compared to watching him in the flesh. The young players have another 20 years in front of them but this is the only one last time the wizard wants to play. This shouldn't even be a disscussion. Later.
Naidu of Taveuni
Serevi should be given the opportunity to play...when he is in the team...people know..even if they are losing they can win.... but without him Fiji cannot come from behind and win...Serevi has done alot...

after this 2nd leg JS should pick his best players and play against Serevi's drifters players...that should be the final selection for the 3rd leg...since the drifters have retained their title...

FRU...if u wanna do sth for Fiji, give Serevi a chance...
Pat of ltka
let him go to hong kong but as asst coach or a back up player
Rugby Fanatic of Nadi
YES! He should!!! In recognition of his contribution to the game of 7s where he has been the nemesis of all 7s coaches and teams around the world - this would be a fitting farewell from the little man that they named - SIR-EVI...he mesmerized millions of 7s followers around the world, his cheeky goose-step being imitated by players the world over, his cool headed play even when the chips were down...He is indeed the greatest 7s player ever to have grazed the paddocks of So Kom Po!!
With his mates, he has brought glory to Fiji more than once...Serevi has singularly glamorized the game of 7s rugby....and his name will always be mentioned by commentators covering the game of 7s rugby in any international meet...
Rugby house should just eat humble pie and for this last time acknowledge the contribution of this man - who had turned down so many lucrative offers in the past all for the love of his nation! Can we reciprocate this??? or will we be arrogant arses and be real dic?/>$%# like those at Rugby house???
A great suggestion by a poster above - pitch the national team against the drifters and pick a squad for Hong Kong from there....
ICEMAN of suva
frfu when will you award reconition for dedication and true sportsmanship in every sense of the word (like for 20 years consistently)if anyone deserves a spot & can easily earn it whoelse but the master himself.GOD BLESS YOU WAI.
Hulk of Cakaudrove
With all respect to Wai, he should make way for new and younger players. Sa rauta mada Wai, you have done Fiji proud and I'm sure there are others who are willing to make a name for themselves in 7s. They may not match the achievement that Wai is known for but they should be given opportunity to showcase raw talent that Wai may have been lacking in his glory days. Moce Wai, Moce OB.
Ashwin Karan Nair of Suva
I think, he is the most geatest of the sevens player, he should be picked leaving aside all the difference. And I bet he will be the most fittest player if given a run along the players selected for Wellington.
Savou should get him back if Fiji somehow wouldn't Win this weekend's weekends tournament. Savou should give up making false promises to all the good Fiji supporters. Serevi should be brought back if Fiji doesn't win in the current Wellington tournament....and I think he can play for another 4 to 5 years from now.
Good Luck to Fiji team.

just me of fiji
nah i dont think he should go.give oppotunity to the younger boys.his done us proud and now let the other boys prove themselfs.he probably should go as an adviser but as far as playing i think he should give it to the younger generation.let serevi be the bench mark for other players to reach.
vili. of marshall islands
I wish the F.r.u. would let him play for the last time.He desreves it.It's the only thing I would wish for to see my kai doing what he does best.That is playing for his country.
Koroi of Sacramento USA
Let honor Sirevi in front of the World. He gave us great entertainment and something to boast about, admired,and something to remember in rugby.And let him hang his boot and his #7 jersy at Museum in Suva.What a Honor.Go Fiji!
LomaiKidd of Fiji
yep bring him back...Serevi + Fiji 7's = Success. not only do we need him back on the team, but as coach as well (no offence to JS).
All the BEST to the boys in NZ!! Go Fiji Go!!
Jack of Red River, Texas.
I understand and respect the stand now taken by FRU to focus on younger players representing Fiji on the IRB Sevens Series as a tool for development and to build a squad to defend the Melrose Cup next year. This is a good move and will no doubt benefit Fiji Rugby in the long run but it is also a move that will effectively close the door on Fiji's Greatest ever Sevens Player.

SEREVI is without doubt the greatest sevens player the World has ever seen, his contribution to the sevens game is peerless and he has done a lot for Fiji. An English poet once wrote in his famous play.."the evil that men do lives after them but the good is often interred with their bones". In years to come, young children of Fiji will be told and in turn will want to know the story about the country's greatest sevens exponent. How do you want history to remember SEREVI? Do you want to remember the 'evils' and let the good interred with SEREVI's bones? or Do you want history to remember the many times SEREVI has brought happiness and Honour for Fiji?

SEREVI has publicly stated that he wants to end his sevens career at Hong Kong, a place where it all started twenty years or nineteen years ago. And I SAY: LET US HONOUR OUR GREATEST SEVENS PLAYER (who has given us so much) BY LETTING HIM PLAY ONE LAST TIME AT HONG KONG.
Satish of Sigatoka
Ofcourse Serevi should be given the green light to play in HK.
What a fiiting farewell this could be for a guy who has done so much for this country.
Nanise of Akaladi -NZ
FIJI FIJI FIJI - CELEBRATE YOUR HEROES. HERES ONE GUY WHO PUT YOU PERMANENTLY IN THE MIND OF EVERY SPORT LOVER THE WORLD OVER, & YOU HAVE TO ASK US!!!!. FUNNY & SAD
GIVE HIM ALL HE DESERVES BECOZ HE TURNED DOWN MANY OFFERS BECOZ OF HIS LOVE FOR FIJI. WHENEVER ANYONE MENTIONS HIS NAME THEY LINK IT WITH HIS BELOVED FIJI. NOW DO HIM PROUD & GIVE HIM WHAT HE DESERVES.
Kasey Rosenthal of usa
what a question! simply is a reflection of fru. this man (serevi)? no question exist for him. the world of rugby knew him by name and made us proud. for him to play in hong kong, no question should be asked, cause the whole nation knew what he is capable of and what he can produce, and most importantly, he sure will bring us victory and pride.

Antonio Masiyasa of Suva
Serevi still regarded by many as the Master in the Sevens code and who brought Fiji Sevens Team to win the Hong Kong trophy 3years in row and none of those in FRU HOUSE has done that so far
VOTS of suva
Yes Serevi should be given another chance as the twelve member of the team. I do remember in the past, some players who travel to Hong Kong plays a game only during pool play or hardly plays a game at all. Taking Serevi will not hurt FRU in anyway not even its pocket BUT a bonus as he will contribute immensly in every game thru his experience as a coach and as player as well. C'mon FRU, keep Savou as coach, he can use the master as an impact player in every game.....at least you will be seen as appreciating Serevis contribution to Rugby in Fiji.
sudhaiya na vasu of Suva Fiji
If the public is given the chance to vote, all of Fiji will vote for Serevi not only for a last trip to So Kon Po but to relieve all the FRU Excutives and pick his own people to run this corrupted bunch.
A man who has proven to the world that Fiji is in his heart and an ambassador and the best coach there is in 7`s.
He has proven himself in 15`s playing in the World 15 so he is experience in both codes. It very hard to find truthful and talented man today as you can see, even the talatalas and bishops and fathers are going astray.
TRUTH ALWAYS HURTS!
Gabby Vododuadua of FSM
The logical thing to do is get a match organised between Wai's Drifters team & Savou's team and tahn pick a team from there....to the selectors...sa rauta mada na masi polo tiko i Rugby House....dou vei qari....dont' mix politics with rugby...
fjratu of USA
You all Dum FRU Exectives,He has done alot fof fiji.He is an Ambasdor to Fiji.We all are after him,He should be honored.
rabs of naitalasese
YES! YES! YES!!... hes the LEGEND!!, hes the MASTER, hes WIZZARD of Seven a side rugby. he should show all that for the last time in his rugby carreer....
rabs of naitalasese
YES!! Absolutely!! he should be given a FULL farewell, because he has done Fiji proud. For his contribution to the game is so high and respectfull.
naveen of lautoka
sure he should play..y dont we have a challenge match between serevi,s drifters and da national to see who deserves to go to hong kong..
christine of UK
No question about it - we all want to see him honoured for the great player he still is. What is wrong with the FRU?
italiaN of fsm
we can all remember how he mesmeried the World at Happy Valley,the world always looked forward to see the Qarani MAN do what he does best cheeky with his cunning steps not only brought anyone if not everyone out of their sits even the great D.campo and many others were left sprawling and often bite the dust to the now World King of Sevens...So lest we forget the world is ready to mark a standing ovation to Sir Serevi not only to win but to honor for the last time a name that has somewhat become a family name that has bridged the divide between race,creed and color and like many others,i can only speak for myself it will be the greatest moments to Small as well as fijians abroad and at home to salute one of Fiji's outstanding Son's..yes sir give Waisale Serevi a fare go...the world is watching and is also craving...

Memz of Australia
Definitely..! i think Serevi should be given the option of playing in Hong Kong.. Serevi has done so much for the game and played a major role in engraving the name of our country in the rugby world, and that deserves far more honour and respect that he has been given! LET SEREVI PLAY i say! and let him leave the game he has loved with honour! lets show him some deserved recognision. Go Serevi
Oz Les of Sydney, Australia
Absolutely!!!!!His one in a million,he deserve it..no two way about it. The man is a LEGEND and a LEGEND deserve another go, even if they need someone to carry him. VINAKA VAKALEVU MATA.
Fiji Rugby Seven Support of Sac, Ca. USA
LET SEREVI GO AND JOIN THE FIJI SEVEN TEAM TO HONG KONG. THAT IS WHERE WE CAN SEE HIM RETIRED COMPLETLY FROM THE FIJI SEVEN TEAM AND BE RECONIZED AS TRUE CHAMPION OF ALTIMES IN THIS CODE. HE WILL HELP OUR FIJI TEAM TO WIN IN HONG KONG FOR THE SECOND TIME IN A ROW HAS A TRUE CHAMPION IN THE WORLD RUGBY SEVEN.
Wayne of FIJI of Bangkok
He should be given the last time to play for the country and his fans and I believe he will be happy if he Returns to Happy Valley again and bring the cup home.

He should be given the green light to play his last tournament in sevens rugby. For this is where he started his rugby career and he put Fiji on the world map, as the most dangerous team in the world. He is the vision and not forgetting the master/wizard of this game. He is physically and mentally prepared for this tournament. No regrets....he should def. play in this tournament because he will give the fans exactly what they want "a victorious win at the Hong Kong Sevens." "Go, FIJI, Go!!!!!!!" God Bless.

even if he wants to be a spectator, FRU should foot all his cost. cum on be rationale in dealings with the man... tau, sa saumi oti na dinau ka vo tale tu...HK mai..e maka ia daru lao vata.

DO YOU REALLY HAVE TO ASK US TO COMMENT ON THIS TOPIC...THE MAN SHOULD BE GIVEN A LIFE FREE ACCOMODATION, TICKETS, ETC ALL PAID BY FRU WHEN IT COMES TO THE HONG KONG SEVENS.
Freddy of SUVA
Absolutely! Are you kidding me? After his contribution to the sport over the last two decades, it is only fitting that he be given a honorary spot on the team. The guy is well known the world over. So it is only right for him to say farewell to his fans on the stage where it all started. HONK KONG 7's!
Divshal of New Zealand
he should be given one chance atlesast to show the world that being 39years is no word and bring the glory back home once again .
