HONG KONG: Fiji laid down a marker with a 59-12 demolition of Japan on the opening day of the Hong Kong Rugby Sevens, coming back from the scare of conceding the first try.
"The key is that, if we get the ball back, control the ball, we could control the game," he said.
It's a big opportunity to give them this opportunity.
It's a big one, Hong Kong, but they handled it well."
He talked up the contribution of emerging half-back Filipo Bukayaro - a "fantastic little player" - noting he had "big shoes to fill" taking over from the islanders' legendary former captain Jerry Tuwai.
The day's closest-fought match, between the USA and Spain, saw the Eagles take a 15-14 win in the Pool C contest.
