The Fiji Airways Fiji Men’s 7s team is aiming to make history by securing a second consecutive victory in the World Sevens Series, after their last back-to-back win in 2019. Remarkably, over the course of 24 years, this will be only the second time the Fiji men’s team has attempted to achieve this feat. The team made headlines in 2019 when they triumphed in the London 7s against Australia and then went on to defeat New Zealand in Paris just one week later.
Osea Kolinisau, the head coach of the Fiji 7s team, emphasized the importance of consistency as they prepare for the Cape Town 7s. His coaching sessions have focused intensely on honing the skills and strategies of the players in the lead-up to the tournament.
Despite having what appears to be a manageable pool on paper, Kolinisau cautioned his players against becoming complacent. With a revised format for the Cape Town tournament, all teams will be vying to maximize their points, heightening the stakes in both the men’s and women’s competitions.
Fiji is set to start their campaign against Uruguay at 12:38 AM tomorrow, followed by a match against Great Britain at 4:38 AM.
This tournament presents a significant opportunity for the Fijian team to not only aim for glory but also to showcase their resilience and determination on the international stage. As they strive for another victory, their journey serves as a source of inspiration for fans back home and highlights the potential for greatness in rugby sevens.
In summary, the Fiji 7s team is on the cusp of repeating historical success, showcasing their ambition and skill while reminding us all of the thrill of competition.
