The Fiji Airways Men’s National 7s team is gearing up for a pivotal round in the HSBC World Sevens Series, emphasizing that there are no shortcuts to success. Head coach Osea Kolinisau has stressed the importance of discipline and thorough preparation as the team enters a highly competitive pool. Fiji currently sits at the top of the series standings, alongside New Zealand and South Africa, making every match crucial.
Kolinisau acknowledged the presence of strong opponents such as South Africa in their pool, but noted that the team is also mindful of Great Britain and Spain. “You can’t underestimate anyone in this format,” he stated, highlighting the necessity for the players to maintain their focus and approach each game individually.
The coaching staff has conducted a thorough analysis of all their pool competitors. Kolinisau reassured fans that they are not taking any match for granted. “We’ve sat down and analysed South Africa, Spain, and GB, and there are no assumptions,” he reiterated. “We don’t want to think it’s going to be easy or that we’ll just make the semi-finals.”
As the title race remains open, Kolinisau believes maintaining mental focus will be essential for their success. The team’s journey begins this afternoon at 4:32 PM against Great Britain, followed by a matchup with Spain at 7:58 PM, before concluding their pool games against South Africa at 11:46 PM. Fans can catch all the excitement live on FBC TV.
This promising outlook highlights the team’s determination and readiness to tackle each challenge ahead, demonstrating their commitment to capturing another title in the series.
