The Fiji Airways Men’s 7s team is on a quest to make history once again by aiming for a consecutive win in the World Sevens Series, a feat they last accomplished in 2019. Over the past 24 years of the series, the Fijian team has only managed to secure back-to-back victories once, triumphing in the London 7s against Australia and following it up with a win over New Zealand in Paris just a week later.
Head coach Osea Kolinisau emphasized the importance of consistency as the team prepares for the Cape Town 7s tournament. In the lead-up to the event, he has been diligently training the players in Cape Town to ensure they are in top form.
Despite their pool appearing manageable on paper, Kolinisau cautioned his squad against complacency. The tournament format has been revised, and every team will strive to earn maximum points across both the men’s and women’s competitions.
Fiji will commence their Cape Town 7s journey with a match against Uruguay at 12:38 AM tomorrow, followed by a meeting with Great Britain at 4:38 AM for their second pool game.
As the team sets its sights on this significant challenge, fans remain hopeful that Fiji’s determination and focus will lead them to success, potentially adding another chapter to their illustrious rugby history. This upcoming tournament serves not just as a competition, but as a chance for the players to showcase their skills and commitment on a global stage.
