Serious questions have been raised about the poor performance of the Fiji Airways National Men\u2019s 7s team in the 2022\/2023 World 7s series, the latest was their 9th-place finish in the Toulouse 7s last weekend.<\/p>\n
The last time Fiji tasted victory in any international 7s tournament was at the 7s Rugby World Cup in Cape Town, South Africa in September last year.<\/p>\n
The loss in Toulouse last weekend has marked the 11th consecutive tournament where Fiji has failed to win a gold medal.<\/p>\n
With the series wrapping up in London this weekend, Fiji was lucky enough to have booked a spot for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris but that does not rule out the questions that have been asked by many about the dismal performance of the team.<\/p>\n
Fiji\u2019s first match is against Ireland at 9.23pm Saturday, they will then meet Argentina at 12.53am Sunday and face Japan at 4.07am Sunday in their final pool match.<\/p>\n
The cup quarter finals will start at 8.45pm Sunday, the cup semi-finals will begin at 12.33am Monday and the cup final will be held at 4.26am Monday.<\/p>\n
