Jerry Tuwai made his debut for Fiji at the 2014 Gold Coast Sevens.
He was part of the Fiji Sevens team that won the gold medal at the 2016 Rio Olympics and was named World Rugby Sevens Player of the Year in 2019.
He was awarded player of the tournament at the 2014 World Club 7s where he played for the Davetalevu Club.
Tuwai grew up playing rugby in his school, but only took to the sport seriously at 18, after dropping volleyball.
 At that age he joined Newtown Rugby Club, his local club, where he quickly excelled for his speed and side stepping,
Told he was too small to play rugby, Jerry Tuwai did not let the naysayers win and is now considered to be one of the best Rugby sevens players in the world 
Known for his agility, sharp decision-making and his ability to step defenders without losing speed. He's also notable for his commitment for the physical side of the game, being a force at the breakdown and making an impact with his defence, despite being small for an average professional rugby player.
This has led Fiji Sevens legend Waisale Serevi to declare that Tuwai's even a better player than he was in his prime.
Now with the Rio and Tokyo Gold Medals firmly in his possession., Jerry Tuwai continues to show the world what we can accomplish if we believe and work hard for our goals.
