Coach Saiasi Fuli said women s rugby is not played at primary or secondary school level in Fiji and some of his players have only took up the sport two years ago.
But their success in Tokyo is proving to be the perfect recruitment tool. Straight after that bronze medal win I had hundreds of calls from girls in Fiji and Fijians overseas wanting to come and join the Fijiana, he said from Tokyo. That is the positive impact of this Olympic tournament and it motivates and encourages young girls in Fiji to take up the sport of rugby sevens and increase the number of women s participation in Fiji.
