The Fiji Airways Men’s 7s team may not have clinched the trophies at the Dubai and Cape Town Sevens, but their performance has demonstrated remarkable consistency, rewarding them with a significant standing in the HSBC SVNS. After securing back-to-back third-place finishes, the team is currently tied with South Africa and New Zealand at the top of the standings, each accumulating 32 points.
This strong showing early in the season sends a clear message from coach Osea Kolinisau’s squad; they remain competitive in the title race despite not yet making it to a Cup final. Their resilience in both tournaments has kept them well-positioned as they approach the upcoming events.
The Fijiana 7s team has also put forth commendable efforts, currently standing sixth overall with 22 points. They continue to maintain a close distance to the top four, showcasing their determination and skill in the tournaments held in Dubai and Cape Town.
Looking ahead, the draw for the next leg in Singapore has been completed, with the Men’s team set to compete against South Africa, Spain, and Great Britain. Meanwhile, the Fijiana will face challenges from Australia, the USA, and Japan. With a long season still ahead, both teams are exactly where they need to be to contend for top honors. The future looks promising for Fiji’s 7s squads as they aim for continued success in the HSBC series.
