Congratulations Fijiana!!

From a friend:

Fijiana coach Saiasi Fuli had one goal apart from the Olympics gold medal: "I really wanted to shock the world of 7s by changing the culture and environment of womens rugby and show the world that we can beat any team."
To do this he and his coaching staff put the Fijiana players under a strict training regime including a strict meal plan.
For 3 months the players had no carbs, no sugar, no milk and no kakana dina (root crops).
The girls were even denied their phones. They only got their phones for the weekends, and were allowed only one cheat meal (either KFC or BBQ) on Saturdays. Then it was back to the meal plan!
They havent seen their families for 15 weeks and another 2 weeks in quarantine will be added to that.
Four of these girls including star halfback Reapi Ulunisau are on their first trip out of Fiji!
After the loss to NZ in the semifinal - the team launched a complaint to Paddy O'Brien regarding 5 key calls made by the ref specifically mentioning the incident/time/player/jersey no/law book.
The team felt the pace of the game took its toll on the ref and she was out of reach of the actual plays.
