SINGAPORE - Meli Derenalagi's rugby career appeared to be on an upward trajectory after ending his debut HSBC World Rugby Sevens season last year on a high.
All that was halted by the coronavirus pandemic but the 1.9m Derenalagi is taking these obstacles in his stride as he told reporters in a media conference via Zoom on Friday how much he was looking to returning to competitive action. Derenalagi said:"We'll just take one step at a time. We are just looking forward to getting back on track, to wait for this lockdown to be lifted then we can start training again with our brothers... if the Singapore and Hong Kong tournaments , that's our main focus."
This is Derenalagi's second term with four-time Sevens Series champions Fiji and he paid tribute to the influence of his older teammates. National Development Minister Lawrence Wong said on June 1 it is"very uncertain" whether Covid-19 restrictions will be eased enough by September such that crowds can gather to watch the Formula One night race in Singapore.
