Fiji Airways men’s 7s coach Osea Kolinisau has adopted a balanced yet determined strategy as his team prepares for the upcoming Singapore 7s tournament later this month. Following a well-structured training regimen that took place prior to the Christmas and New Year festivities, the squad has been able to spend quality time with their families while staying committed to their performance goals.
Reflecting on the previous tournaments, Kolinisau expressed his disappointment over not securing titles in the last two legs, despite the team’s strong performance. However, he remains optimistic, noting that finishing the year tied at the top with South Africa and New Zealand holds significant importance for their overall standing in the series. “We were disappointed not to win the last two tournaments, but we’re not in a bad place,” he stated.
As Fiji currently sits at the pinnacle of the HSBC SVNS standings, the emphasis now shifts toward fostering consistency and improving execution. The coaching staff is hopeful that the Singapore event will serve as a valuable opportunity to transform their thorough preparations into tangible successes, helping to maintain their momentum for the series crown.
The squad for the Singapore 7s will be announced a week following the McDonald’s Fiji Coral Coast 7s, which adds to the anticipation surrounding the team’s performance. The Singapore 7s is set to kick off on the 31st of this month, and fans and supporters are eager to see if Fiji can leverage their hard work into a championship win. With a commitment to excellence and a united team spirit, the future looks promising for the Fijian side.
