Fiji’s 7s Head Coach, Osea Kolinisau, is determined to lead his team in a way that embodies the essence of Fijian rugby at this year’s HSBC SVNS in Dubai. With a revamped lineup from the Olympic Games silver medal team, Kolinisau is keen to foster a cohesive performance that emphasizes quality.
Following the team’s initial training session, Kolinisau expressed his desire to see the players integrate their training into a true representation of Fijian rugby. He stated, “I want to see that what we have practiced the boys fully understand, and that we play to our level and the Fiji rugby style.” He emphasized the importance of team synergy, wishing to witness effective execution of both defensive strategies and attacking patterns.
Despite the pressures that come with being the head of the Fiji 7s team, Kolinisau remains committed to prioritizing team dynamics and standards. He reiterated, “Every tournament the goal is to win, and there is no use going if you’re not there to win.”
Fiji is set to kick off its tournament against Spain on Saturday at 6:06 PM, marking the beginning of what promises to be an exciting campaign.
As we look forward to the tournament, it’s heartening to see a coach so dedicated to nurturing his team’s identity and strengths. With the spirit of Fiji behind them, there’s hope for a successful run in Dubai, where the team can showcase their signature style of play.
