Mocenacagi the human lamppost: extraordinary performance for Fiji Rugby 7s Team in 2019 Series
Channel: Much Of Life
Date: 2019-02-06

Sevuloni Mocenacagi is an extraordinary rugby 7s player. His aerial skills, particularly lineout jumping and aggression when tackling makes him makes him a menace to oppositions. He is very accurate in defence and for a very tall person, moves very rapidly allowing him to play in most positions.  Mocenacagi also has an excellent work ethic in training and is "tough as nails" character.  He links very well with the other forwards: Nasoko, Cakaubalavu, Derenalagi, Kunavula & Botitu. 

There are 6 more World Sevens Series tournaments left. We really hope Sevu makes it to these tournaments as he has a lot to offer:

USA Sevens 2019   Las Vegas 1–3 March
Canada  Sevens 2019  Vancouver  9–10 March  
Hong Kong 2019  5–7 April 
Singapore Sevens 2019  13–14 April 
London Sevens 2019  London  25–26 May
Paris Sevens 2019  1–2 June


Fiji Team that scored tries in this video Hamilton & Sydney Sevens: Gareth Baber Coach Mesulame Kunavula Kalione Nasoko (Captain) Sevuloni Mocenacagi Ratu Meli Derenelagi Josua Vakurunabili Apenisa Cakaubalavu Jerry Tuwai Waisea Nacuqu Terio Tamani Vilimoni Botitu Alasio Naduva Aminiasi Tuimaba 13th Man – Paula Dranisinukula.  Mocenacagi is the 13th Man for the Fiji Team to the Las Vegas Sevens 2019 & will likely play in the quarterfinals and finals of the 2019 Las Vegas 7s 2019.  His younger brother Isoa Tabu is in the Fiji Squad to the Las Vegas 7s.  Given the recent spate of injuries to the Fiji 7s Team, Mocenacagi is an almost certainty in the Fiji 7s 2019 Team to Hong Kong.

Generally speaking, the feeling in Fiji is that referees tend to be trigger happy with issuing penalties against Fiji, and red & yellow cards to Fiji.  Mocenacagi has unfortunately been the recipient of these on occasions.  Mocenacagi has never had malicious intent, he just plays hard and is always going for the ball and not intending on hurting other players.
