Hollis was singled out for praise for his excellent defence against both Australia and New Zealand where he closed down and tackled their wingers very effectively. He also made a 50 yard break against Tonga, which nearly led to a score for the West Indies.
The eventual winners of the tournament were England who defeated Fiji 38-5 in the final.
