Fiji Army enlists for Hong Kong Tens with sevens stars Isake Katonibau and Apisai Domolailai in ranks
- Katonibau has helped Fiji win the last four Hong Kong Sevens titles, while Domolailai is a 2016 Olympic gold medallist
Fijian sevens stars Isake Katonibau and Apisai Domolailai will bring their magic to the GFI HKFC 10s in April as the Fiji Army enters the tournament for the first time.
The Fijians are expected to be among the top contenders as Biarritz Gavekal – formerly UBB Gavekal – bid for a third successive Cup title. The tournament has also been boosted by the return of three-time champions Asia-Pacific Dragons (APDs) after a year’s absence.
Katonibau has helped Fiji win the last four Hong Kong Sevens titles, but this year will captain the Army side, whose provisional squad includes 2016 Olympic gold medallist Apisai Domolailai.
Katonibau has high expectations and is looking forward to his return to the city.
“A lot of the guys have heard about the tournament and have already played in the Hong Kong Sevens. We know it’s a very high standard of rugby and we are aiming for the Cup,” he said.
