    Fiji on their day are the best sevens team in the world, problem a lot of the time is availability of players, which shouldn't be as big of an issue in the Olympics. Probably picked the hardest team to make, but good chance of a gold medal if he makes the team.

    This is getting away from American football, but how come he's able to pick and choose whatever team he feels like playing for? Is he not Australian?

    He has a Fijian parent. He hasn't represented anyone in Rugby Union so is free to choose who he plays for. He wouldn't be able to play for anyone but Fiji after this.

    It'd be pretty impressive if he made the Fijian team, they are the best team as it is. There isn't much between the top teams but they are a little bit ahead when it comes to the bigger tournaments.

    He played with Fiji in the London 7's and didn't do so well. It'll be hard for him to make it into their squad for the Olympics. Tbh I don't think it would be fair if he was included based on what he did in London.

    And after all that, he doesn't make the team. I wonder what the plan is now. Rugby League again?

    It'll be League or Union I'd imagine. Super Rugby is growing all the time and I'm sure one of the Aussie would be interested.

    He has no problem picking up a contract in the NRL but there is more money is Super Rugby.

    Might want to head back to australia, but I'd be surprised if there wasn't a few French teams making enquiries
