Fiji is the only team that has ever won gold since the 7s rugby game was included in the Olympic Games set up in 2016. In the 2016 Rio Olympics, the Ben Ryan-coached side took the Stadium by storm as they went on a rampage from the start to the finish. They demolished Great Britain 43-7 in the final.
