Watch: Best of Condor 7s - Emoni Narawa
By RugbyPass
This week we’re showcasing the best of the Condor 7s, the New Zealand secondary schools national Sevens competition.
Next up, Emoni Narawa of Hamilton Boys High School. Fiji native Narawa earned selection in the team of tournament on the back of excellent defence and elusive running. Narawa's smooth running style was a joy to watch, reminiscent of Fijian Sevens legend Serevi.
Narawa's game breaking ability was on show against Kelston Boys, where he scored two tries and set up another in a crucial quarter-final clash.

It certainly needs to be cherished. Despite Nick (and you) highlighting their usefulness for teams like Australia (and obviously those in France they find form with) I (mention it general in those articles) say that I fear the game is just not setup in Aus and NZ to appreciate nor maximise their strengths. The French game should continue to be the destination of the biggest and most gifted athletes but it might improve elsewhere too.
I just have an idea it needs a whole team focus to make work. I also have an idea what the opposite applies with players in general. I feel like French backs and halves can be very small and quick, were as here everyone is made to fit in a model physique. Louis was some 10 and 20 kg smaller that his opposition and we just do not have that time of player in our game anymore. I'm dying out for a fast wing to appear on the All Blacks radar.
But I, and my thoughts on body size in particular, could be part of the same indoctrination that goes on with player physiques by the establishment in my parts (country).
