Fiji’s 7s Head Coach, Osea Kolinisau, has set a clear goal for his team at the upcoming HSBC SVNS in Dubai: to showcase rugby played the Fijian way. Kolinisau is emphasizing the importance of teamwork and quality execution, especially with a squad that differs from the one that won a silver medal at the Olympic Games.
After the team’s initial training session, Kolinisau expressed his desire to see the players translate their practice into performance on the field. “I want them to fully understand what we have practiced and to play to our capability and the traditional Fiji rugby style,” he stated. He aims for the team to demonstrate cohesiveness in both their defensive strategies and attacking plays.
While the pressure is palpable for Kolinisau in his role, he remains committed to prioritizing his team and their collective goals. “Our focus is on our training and maintaining our standards,” he said, underscoring that winning is the primary objective of every tournament. “There’s no point in competing if you’re not aiming for victory.”
Fiji is set to kick off their tournament against Spain at 6:06 PM on Saturday.
In conclusion, fans of Fiji rugby can look forward to an exciting tournament as Kolinisau emphasizes a return to Fijian rugby roots, showcasing skillful teamwork and the flair that the national team is renowned for. This approach not only inspires the players but also resonates deeply with the supporters as they strive for success on the international stage.
