Fiji Airways men’s 7s coach Osea Kolinisau is implementing a balanced yet determined approach as his team gears up for the forthcoming Singapore 7s tournament later this month. After adhering to a structured training regimen leading up to the Christmas and New Year holidays, the squad has been able to enjoy quality time with their families while remaining focused on their performance objectives.
Reflecting on past tournaments, Kolinisau expressed his disappointment at not clinching titles in the last two legs despite the team’s solid performances. However, he maintains an optimistic outlook, highlighting the significance of finishing the previous year tied at the top with South Africa and New Zealand for their overall series standing. “We were disappointed not to win the last two tournaments, but we’re not in a bad place,” he remarked.
Currently leading the HSBC SVNS standings, the team’s focus has shifted towards enhancing consistency and improving overall execution. The coaching staff is hopeful that the Singapore 7s will offer a critical opportunity to convert their rigorous preparations into successful outcomes, aiding their pursuit of the series crown.
The squad set to compete in the Singapore 7s will be announced one week after the McDonald’s Fiji Coral Coast 7s, adding to the excitement surrounding the team’s prospects. With the tournament kicking off on the 31st of this month, fans are eager to see if Fiji can transform their dedication and training into championship glory. With a commitment to excellence and a united team spirit, the outlook for the Fijian side remains bright.
