Kavekini Tanivanuakula and George Bose are set to chase their dreams, having been named in the 12-member squad for the Fiji Airways men’s sevens team at the upcoming Dubai 7s competition. The two players joined the training camp under the guidance of head coach Osea Kolinisau, representing the Army and BLK Lavidi Brothers clubs, respectively.
During their time in the training squad, both Tanivanuakula and Bose expressed how significant their selection has been for them. Tanivanuakula described his emotional response to his inclusion, becoming visibly moved as he reflected on the support from his family and the memory of his late mother, who passed away when he was in seventh grade. Bose highlighted the need to adapt to the national team’s dynamics, viewing this opportunity as a stepping stone towards achieving an international rugby contract, a goal he discussed in an interview last month.
The selection of these two talented players represents the culmination of their dedication and aspirations during their training camp. As the team prepares to depart Fiji for Dubai, Kolinisau acknowledged the pressure that comes with leading a squad celebrated globally for its exceptional skills and style.
The Dubai 7s tournament is scheduled to take place from November 29 to December 1, offering the team a chance to showcase their talent on an international platform.
This moment marks not only a milestone for Tanivanuakula and Bose but also a testament to their hard work and resilience. With their hopeful spirits and determination, the duo brings a fresh energy to the squad as they aim to contribute to Fiji’s proud rugby legacy.
