Fiji’s rugby sevens head coach, Osea Kolinisau, is focused on elevating his team’s performance on the global stage as they gear up for the resumption of the HSBC Sevens Series. Following a triumphant gold medal win at the Dubai Sevens, the team faced challenges in Cape Town, where they secured a bronze medal. Kolinisau reflected on the team’s late-game performance, noting that communication and spacing broke down in the final moments of their match.
“We aim to refine our processes, particularly when fatigue sets in,” Kolinisau remarked, emphasizing the importance of maintaining structure even when the players are tired. He expressed optimism about the team returning to practice for their first session of the year, acknowledging that while they feel somewhat rusty, the focus remains on regaining their rhythm and polishing their strategies.
As the team prepares for the upcoming Coral Coast Sevens next week, Kolinisau is instilling a positive mindset, believing that focused practice will help them conquer the subsequent leg of the HSBC Sevens Series in Perth scheduled for January 24-26. This preparation stands as a stepping stone towards ensuring a strong and cohesive performance moving forward.
With their sights set on overcoming past hurdles, the Fiji 7s team is poised to embrace both the challenges and opportunities ahead, fostering a spirit of resilience and determination. Their journey is not just about winning but about growth, unity, and commitment to excellence in the sport.
