While Jerry Tuwai’s dancing feet will again be bamboozling opponents in Fiji’s cause as the Pacific islanders defend their men’s title in Tokyo, Napolioni Bolaca has been marked out as the future of his country’s sevens programme.

The 24-year-old playmaker can do it all, with a deceptive right-foot step, an uncanny ability to offload, accurate goal-kicking as well as all the power and pace fans have come to expect from Fijian rugby players.
