IRB Sevens Classic Finals: Fiji v Samoa, Wellington 2007

Relive this hyper-physical Cup final between Pacific Island heavyweights Fiji and Samoa at the 2007 NZL Sevens in Wellington, where Lolo Lui helped inspire the Samoans to a first ever Cup title in the IRB Sevens World Series.

[@kaiwai4092]

Back when sevens was like watching a boxing match. I'm a Fijian but this Samoan team is a masterpiece. I know there's more players like this in the islands . No one can match Samoa when it comes to physicality. Respects from Fiji🤘🏽🇫🇯💜

[@restlessbeing1398]

I remember watching this game bck home in fiji. Pesmino ws my fv samoan player. This ws great samoan team

[@georgemafi263]

This is the best samoan team ive ever come across durin IRB series...!!! Too good 🇼🇸

[@kawaikamikamica6936]

Bula... it’s April 12th 2021 Spring and I wanted to see an exciting Final.... I believe this is one of the best Finals ever.... raw talent and physique.... The young USO’s really fired up that season.... Hope to see the Young Samoans step up this season...

[@kingjames7963]

Back when sevens was very enjoyable to watch especially in Wellington the atmosphere was spectacular now not so much such a shame

[@jamesvalentine6640]

Miss how the Manu Samoa would take out any giant teams in rugby 7s. Come on Uso, find your mojo now, we need you to be up there in the table with Fiji. Pacific Brothers. Respect and love from Fiji.

[@JrRyder44]

This was the beginning of something special for samoa. Love my country. Respect to fiji

I'm Fijian but this Samoan team was seki asf. Wish to see these types of players soon for Samoa. I know they have more of them back in the Islands. Much love🔥

[@augafapetelo2331]

May have been a long time ago, but it's never been forgotten, it's a greatest ever victorious team

[@nazeemali2098]

Excellent game from both sides but tight defence from Samoans was awesome victory

[@anonymouspacificislander1630]

I can honestly say that this Samoan team deserved it. Fiji been hogging the light for a while and need to share with Samoa. What a way to do it Samoa✌😎 I remember the energy between my mates, was so cool and funny because we both win and lose to each other throughout that year😂 And just tease each other😂😂😂😂😂😂 Samoa/Fiji Fiji/Samoa✌💪💪💪

[@mojee685]

Alatasi Tupou was a youngster back then over 10 years on nd his still playing

[@Nattyuce685]

Yeah man he has a pure skillset of experience i love his style of play

[@JrRyder44]

Historic night for Samoa. Fiji have been dominating for so long that this win meant so much to them. I was there that night and the atmosphere was crazy. Sad to see the state of the Wellington 7s now not as fun anymore

[@faataatiatupuolajr8799]

First time watching this. Awesome Game. CONGRATULATIONS to Manu Samoa and Fiji. Much Love from San Diego, California 😁

Fiji can field 3 teams and they will all end up in the finals. Strength, mobility and pace plus fijian flavor. Last but most important...composure.
