Brrrrrrrrrr went the whistle! The moment of truth was about to decide whether NZ will retain the cup or will Fiji try to some how make a major upset. With Fiji leading the sets 4-3 (the sets is how many times Fiji has challenged NZ and won against NZ), NZ were sure to avenge themselves after losing to Fiji in the Semi-finals in 2007.
Confidence ran through the NZ team as they managed to uphold the Fijian attack. After awarding a penalty to NZ, they were quick to strike as Tomasi Cama, set up DJ Forbes after a lovely crossfield kick. NZ were already on the board leading by 5-0.
Again NZ were on attack. Frank Halai went bursting down the field with power as he fended off one, and then another, and in just a blink of an eye he found himself over the try line. That put NZ from 5 points to 10. After Tomasi Cama missed the opening try conversion, he put immense pressure on himself by helping NZ lead by a 12-0 advantage.
Try after try, Fiji were weak and soon found themselves trailing by 24-0. The last minute came and finally Fiji made up for their mistake by eventually scoring under the post. Even though they scored, it wasn’t enough losing to NZ 24-7.
As NZ were given their medals, DJ Forbes held the cup up. A definite highlight of the game was Frank Halai grabbing a double for NZ. It was a great night for the NZ team and to show how happy they were, the team performed a traditional haka. What a great 7’s weekend in the capital, Wellington. This week the competetion will be held in Las Vegas, in the USA. Let’s see if NZ can do it again. After all they are the CHAMPS!
