The Fiji Airways men’s 7s rugby team is working diligently to overcome its previous reputation for indiscipline, particularly following some challenges faced during the initial legs of the HSBC SVNS series in Dubai and Cape Town last year. Head coach Osea Kolinisau has been vocal about the necessity of addressing these concerns as they gear up for more competitive matches ahead.
During a recent press briefing, Kolinisau stressed the importance of maintaining discipline within the squad. “That’s something we talked about with the boys; we don’t want the tag of being an undisciplined side,” he remarked. As the team prepares to face eight leading contenders in the series, he emphasized that remaining composed is vital for success.
Kolinisau pointed out the serious implications of undisciplined play, noting how it could lead to fewer players on the field and create openings for rivals to capitalize on. He reinforced that upholding discipline is crucial not just for the team’s performance but also for staying competitive in the series.
Amid these challenges, the Fiji team is determined to not only enhance their discipline but also to demonstrate their skills and achieve victories in upcoming fixtures. Their commitment to improvement showcases resilience and a strong desire to compete at the highest level in the HSBC SVNS series, providing hope for a turnaround in their performance.
